that's the plan , after the body bits ive mentioned go on and the wheels then i'll be after strut braces and the rst anti roll bar , going for handling before power and as it'll be my first car i reckon the 1600 will be ample to play with , just not sure on the rs skirts ...........

There are 2 RS option skirts, the standard more common full arch ones or the ones that come halfway up the arch..
