Well I think it was a Capri anyway



I really like it though, anyone know any more about the front end on it?

CoupeUK

Doesnt look too offensive to be honest, maybe E36 headlamps?

Less.

Looks like the capri XXX FibreSport Bodykit to me well the front does but having a look at the back they dont look like Fibresport rear arches

bj928

looks like x pack arches with a manta bumper, the the seems filled, seen the manta bumper conversion done before,

Yeah it's been around for a long time but looks like someone has stuffed a v8 in it now. It did have a 2.8 in it. It was copied from another x pack that I believe had the first 24v cosworth lump in it, Dakar yellow with the same split rim image wheels this car has.

Been looking into retro bodykits, thinking it would be good to do an old skool mod job on an old motor like this

Not toosure on the engine though. I'd probably go back to a 24v cossie lump

Even the headlights or are they E46 like earlier said? I want as much info as I can on this because I think it looks great, reminds me of a Renault Alpine

jameswrx

By interesting do you actually mean disgusting? The front looks awful.

Another reason why I like it; It divides opinion. Wouldn't the world be crap if we all liked the same thing eh?

Cossie Sean

front bumper and lights look like manta or chivette HS/HSR

Uber cool!

Are the lights not the standard Capri ones with the front extended with lenses?

Now that you mention it mate, it does look it when you look beyond the lenses eh?

Admittedly, looking on that link, not a fan of the letters on the bonnet.

gordyshreds

Not my taste, just looks over done and tacky

Looks ok.The door mirrors look shite.

still think the front end is a XX Pack Fibresports front end with standard lights behind them

lee2cossies

iTrader: (2)

The headlights are standard, the covers and front bumper is all part of the double x pack kit, although fibresports may well have designed it around a manta bumper!

Darylc.

iTrader: (1)

Just looked the kit up, you two are right by the look of things. Cheers

I wonder how much these cost?

Caprigirl

The car has the same body kit as mine , the XX pack

As for the lights there is various different lights that can be fitted to these

Darylc.

Very nice, these kits are really growing on me now. What lights are you going for?

gjh

I kind of like it, weirdly.

lee2cossies

iTrader: (2)

Their growing on me too! Has crossed my mind to x pack my capri but really don't want to cut the mint arches off! I'm sure the fibresports factory burnt down a few years back which may mean these kits will never be available again as the moulds were destroyed?

Caprigirl

Sadly I dont have this car anymore ,I had to sell it during Divorce Its now owned by a friend who fitted BMW E30 from lights and a V8

These are my current capri's




Yes the Fibresports factory was burnt down , but I believe they have managed to make new moulds and can still produce these.

The kits do come up for sale from time to time.

That orange one's interior looks the nuts, yellow one's not bad either

Is that a prairie yellow 2.0s capri??

lee2cossies

iTrader: (2)

That's good news, I did have a full kit but sold it and iv regretted it ever since!
The yellow capri looks stunning seen the feature in classic ford, my dad has a signal yellow 3.0s that looks very similar.

Your husband let you go????
Is he mad????
Did you do the work yourself and any particular reason why capri's???
They do look awesome though,I really love the yellow one.

Caprigirl

The orange car is a genuine 3.0s with 86,000 miles all documented , the Yellow car started off life as a 2.0GL but as I couldn't find a yellow S I decided to build one. The car was in January 2012 classic ford and was only last week nominated for Classic ford of the year. Its fitted with a 3.9 V8 , its not to everyone's taste but for me its what I fell in love with when I used to go to the garage with my dad.

I recently found a fishnet recaro interior as the 3.0s had roll tops as standard , the recaro was an option



Why Capri's ???? when I was young a family friend had one and it just stood out , from then on I've always had Old fords. They arent the best cars in the world but what they lack on reliability and rust issues they make up with soul and character.

Until recently my daily was a usable Saff Cos. I changed jobs and had to buy something more suitable and just hate it.

I have been restoring a 69 Mustang Coupe for a few years now , Again its not to everyone's taste being a coupe but she is all mine and someday I will have the pleasure of driving her.




ohh and her name is Florence

That Capri is cool as fook! I have a 2.8 mk3 but it's gonna stay totally standard!!

Mark Walsh

Reviving an old thread.
in 1990 I had a 2.8i special with this kit but mine also had the side skirts and walnut dash like in the tickford.
