Love them, but they are my era, well suited to a 80-90's car

Love them. I thought about putting them on my MK1 FRS and asked for opinions on the RS Owners club but didn't get much positive feedback. If ever you do it make sure you put some pictures up .

Seen them in other colours, but don't look as nice...

I remember back in the day, there was a white Saff in Fast/Performance Ford, with them painted on, that looked really good... Pretty sure it had Comp TH's on...?

I absolutely love this saph, and for some strange reason the 3 spokes suit it.

I don't see them any differently to stickers on subarus and everyone slags them. Personally I think they look crap but that's me.

i remember a mk2 Escort with a cossie motor on the front cover of a Max Power magazine that made me go weak at the knees!

it has to be done right or it could look shite

dmb graphics do the kit i think.

Lol at the RS turbo with the cossie fin, I knew a bloke with one on a chipped s1 and he used to claim it needed it when he went 150 mph in it.
