Its a "cos" kit, thats what its called, nothing to do with cosworths at all mate, nor does it claim to be in that advert

 

The name of the bodykit is "Minicos". A mate did one years ago, think the side skirts are modified from the escort cosworth kit.

BTW he doesn't mention cosworth anywhere in the advert

 

chipper beat me to it

 

its a mini thats meant to look like a cosworth

mark

 

i didnt say he did

 

everybody getting on a usual on here

 

Who says its supposed to look like a cosworth?

doesnt say that in the advert at all that i can see!

I just assumed thats what you meant cos you titled the thread "Mini Cosworth" followed by the smiley.

my apologies.

 

Paddy, no your assumption was correct, because he just repied and said "its a mini thats supposed to look like a cosworth"

so you might want to take back the apology, you were right all along!

 

paddy,no need for apologies.... its got a whaletail,cossie vents and being called a minicos its not named after a imprezza is it but some people cant look at it fo what it is and have to argue

mark

 

Having cosworth styling cues, and being made to look like a cosworth are totally different, but some people cant see that for what it is and instead have to argue

 

That'll teach me for not refreshing before posting

I suggest you do say hello to chip at a meet, he's a top bloke and normally in the middle of the biggest group having the best laugh

And if with all the smileys you were intimating that you were going to try and queer him up, I wouldn't bother he doesn't like cock.

 

some people just have to argue.....

PMSL

Here he goes again, he's threatening violence again now

what a tool!

 

 

Hows the new Cossie going now Mark?

 

I hope you were offering him a hand job cos threats of violence come with a free 24 hour ban

 

You know you might be right paddy, with all this winking and stuff too, perhaps he is just a big poof?

Apologies for calling you a violent tool mark, should have just called you a poof.

It wont happen again mate

MWAH!

 

Looks nothing like a cosworth kit, and its not ment to

 

first impressions are it is trying to look like a cos big fin and ecos vents.

 

someone with a bit of sense i think the 'mini cos' part gives it away

A modifed sierra 1.6 GL mate

 

Ps

apologies to you mark, as i also call it by the nickname "the custard" or the "sierra rs custard"

But i suspecct if you lick it that it tastes nothing like custard at all.

so apologies to you for that, as i suspect it will bother you greatly!

 

i don't want to pi$$ on anybodies fire here BUT

if memory serves the original car that this kit is trying to duplicate is a version that marcos did on the mini, hence the minicos as mini marcos had already been used

 

PMSL

Forgot all about the marcos, i think that predates the 3 door as well, so maybe it was ford owners ripping off the minis when they start calling their sierras as cosworths

 

Whatever it's ment to be it looks fcukin shite!

 

I suspect thats one thing that we ALL agree on

 

 

 

If its a lookalike, wouldnt it be given away by looking like one, which it blatantly doesnt?

 

it came out about the a year or so before the turbocharged ERA mini and was one of the designs that inspired ERA aledgedly

HTH

 

Well the ERA came out on an F plate officially, but was in development for a while before that obviously, with the first road going version being an E reg, so if it was only a year before that the mini marcos came out then maybe ford just pipped mini to the "cos" tag.

 

 

just remembered, it was dennis adams (i think) designer of the mini marcos that designed the ERA and he had designed the minicos just before ,which was going to be the ERA mini but was deemd to boy racer and they wanted the car to be instantly recognised as a mini which apparently this wasn't

end of my knowledge on the minicos i am afraid

 

Think you need some glasses mate....



there like chalk and cheese
