yes....not only are you going to feel a cunt driving it on the road but everyone else will be thinking look at that cunt in his mid life crisis car....
id go for the wheels....but not all the stickers.
I'd get it done without a second thought and without a care as to what others think mate. It will need the wheels and to be fair it'll have the performance to back up the looks!
The floor fell out of my s1 while street racing 20+ yrs ago good luck mate flintstones edition
thats standard mate lol

tough one jon but i am going to give it some serious consideration .hopefully the engine will match the looks
That speed ware RS500 I did mate was road legal and awesome to drive but I felt like a cunt driving that mate and I dont really give a shit what others think. Wrc it but no stickers if it was me mate.
Hopefully this car will undergo a few different guises over its lifetime so all options are open rich. It just depends on what order I do them in.rich I loved that speed aware livery lol.

The Escos in the photo is a proper stripped out rally prepared car and would be at home in a serious rally. Having one the same with the front spotlights pod etc just as an ordinary road car would not be the same to me but that is just my opinion. It would certainly stand out and get a lot of attention compared to a standard looking one but if I saw it I would be thinking " I wonder what rally is that going to"
The reason for contemplating doing it is not to stand out although in essence that is exactly what would happen mate. It's just its such an iconic part of ford rallying of the 90.s it would be nice to have replica of it in the garage. I have a rs 1600i shell that will be a datapost rep also when I get the chance lol

The S1 that you have got will keep you busy for a while to bring that back to a Datapost rep but would be a nice car.
What's the car used for? If it's only used occasionally, and you like it, just do it. Who cares what other people think. It's not like you'll be using it to drive to work in.
I wouldn't fit WRC spoilers and bits, as the livery is wrong for that, but fit the inner headlamp blanks and mud flaps. Also, if it's only a toy/weekend/track car, you could always fit some bucket seats and strip the interior out. Even if you didn't go all out and kept some of the interior, it would still make it look a bit more hardcore.
Ultimately, if you like it, do it. Life is too short to worry about what other people think.

im not even going to attempt the s1 mate ,and will just sell on as is for someone who can put the time and effort it deserves to go back on the road

the car will just be used to go to the odd show mate ,nothing more .100% leave it with the whale tail should i go down this route and will probably put some bucket seats and a half cage in it

Exactly, I used to drive a smart brabus and people made all sorts of comments, I couldn’t have cared less.
My mate runs a huge castle hotel in France, he is very invested in it so can not afford loads, he lives in a hot country and loves convertibles and Porsche’s....I keep telling him to buy a cheap boxster lhd, he says he could not be seen in a "poor mans porsche" I tell him to get over himself...who gives a toss, if it had Skoda/ Hugo on the badge it is still a brilliant car. People can be odd. I love my little TT roadster, people make hairdresser jokes and I just roll my eyes, It just doesn’t bother me.
but then, I have just bought this: My daughter loves driving it around the drive, she is 10.
