Default Does this look dodgy... eBay item...

Surely this isn't legit. Just came across it. Says will be finished in 2 weeks. No pictures; surely a reputable garage would not advertise this until fully complete. As with all projects you know it will take longer!!

- ORIGINAL FOCUS RS EXHAUST SYSTEM - MODIFIED AND NOW MAKES A AWESOME SOUND UNDER ENGINE REVS
So the exhaust doesn't sound awesome when there are no engine revs... useful bit of info, must be a really well modified system.

I'd be very surprised if this turns out as a decent replica.


Cheers,
Grant

If someone did buy it can you imagine the feeling of a genuine RS pulling up next to it just knowing yours is a massive fake

There is something about the word replica that is gay as fuck, i just dont see the point.

Only half decent ones i would ever consider owning are Audi A4 Avant RS4 replicas, rip off the RS4 badges and you have a lovely looking doggy wagon.

Exactly. Glad you all think the same. Thought I was getting old. There's no way I'd lay down that money without even seeing it.

I maybe wrong aswell but isn't there a huge wait still for RS parts still to be sold at ford dealers due to lack if them.

Can't see how they could get hold of genuine RS500 bodyparts!!

Its a classified ad, its to stir interest so you can go and have a look, presumably if you look before its finished you can see that its being done properly.

Wouldnt be buying it personally, I cant see the point in making a car look like its faster than it is so would never want to own anything like that but I guess if you are 18 and cant get insurance on a real one then its appealing.

Looking at there other items they have E60 M5 replicas and R32 reps, personally i like replicas as in a replica 3 door sierra turned into a Texaco touring car or my favourite the Labbatts RS500 then it counts as a replica IMO
