dont like the wheels

desperately needs the proper 90 spec boot stickers. Those ones are shite imo.

Needs a ford badge front and rear.

Is there a front splitter missing? Cant rem how it should be.

Whats the spec mate?

escos chop, it did have a splitter on it but it looked shite so took it off, spec is only a T3 and blues on ofac, straight through scorpion outward rolled exhaust, running pretty much naf all boost, just using it as a daily driver for now, will sort power out next year, there's no rush

if you dont have the ford badge's on get rid of the turdo decal as well it will look cleaner with none than some. wheels arent my taste but they are tempory and get a splitter of some sort on the front as it looks untidy without one and unfinnised. but other than a few bits looks ok mate

also get the headlights lifted up a bit and the front bumper to tidy the panel fit up it will look much tidyer with some small jobs done that cost nothing but time.

the car looks ok but will look 100% better for a few little jobs that only take time look at what you can do for nothing that has a big visual impact, panel fit is king in my eyes even an old car can look straight as fook with a little effort and yours will to. a good polish and a touch up stick it will look a minter mate

Nice rst, could do with the little bits sorted, original splitter, wheels, 90 spec badges.

Also could do with some bodywork on the corners, where the rear lights are, see surface rust.

as far as im aware 90 spec bumpers didnt come with any kind of splitter, not even the little rubber one.

the car looks nice by the way always liked white RS Turbos

Ps i could be selling a set of cossy rims from my RST but were a bit of a distance apart, will be putting them in the For Sale section in the new year.

Loose the wheels. S2's are at that age where the more standard looking they are the nice they are IMHO

fix that front bumper.

also the bonnet rear tailgate and front bumper are all out of line, these are things which id try and fix asap as it would bug me.

other than that looks an honest tidy useable car
