Mike, you're like stepping in a big sticky dog turd! first thing in the morning.

Something you really dont need nor can shake away or off!


you really are still hurting over copying me re: my engine bay colour choice arent you (oh the memories ) AND then you go and copy my brake choice! and wheels (apart from the colour ( )

The "wrc" car should have had the front wings modified to suit the rest of the kit IMHO.

Dave,

Just to put you straight, when you're SECOND to do something, it's called copying, but when you're FIRST its called being original . Timeline man - get it right .

Mike you obviously didnt 'get' the sarcasm in my post

Martin, I am having them fitted. I pick them up in early Jan. I cant wait!

I also suspect that fitting will be a piece of piss and will require no good luck seeing as they are original steel esc cos wings, hand beaten and prepped

well both mine were a mission to fit as the extra bulge is beaten from the original metal and that causes the wing to get pulled out of shape. i had a one inch door gap between the wing and door at the bottom, the headlamp bezels fouled the wings, the sidelamps did not fit and the front part of the side skirts did not line up... all this on BOTH sides! other than that they were a piece of piss to fit.

I think that is the Getaway in Stockholm on. How much power is it running?

Stian Hafensgabens blue WRC car is the best looking/best prepared/best specced escort of all time.
