The MK4 Bonus/Popular thread
5 Attachment(s)
Now then guys, seeing as there are a few of us now, lets have our own thread :top:
Just a quick reminder of my two bonus's to start the thread off :top: My Silver one which i sold at the beginning of the year :cry: Bought it as a totally standard low owner, FSH car and completely turned it into an RS Turbo.She was mint and running 18psi :banana: . Attachment 151030 Attachment 151031 Attachment 151032 This is my latest Bonus, this one is to be a complete sleeper. Full RST mechanicals but totally standard looks apart from the alloys.If the steels fit over the RST brakes then it will spend alot of time on the steels as well to really annoy people ;) :DD: Attachment 151033 Attachment 151034 so heres a thread for us then Bonus/Popular boys, somewhere not just to show off your base model but also somewhere to talk to like minded base model boys with attitude :DD: :cry: ;) :top: |
nice one our own thread :banana:
|
will you be going to ford fair
|
Stemo, if i can get her insured in time then yes :top: Money will be the decideing factor :cry:
what about you mate? :cool: |
nice one...our own thread! :top:
how long/hard is it to fit a rs lump mate? how much money we talking aswell! :D |
aint too hard, you need to budget about £1000 tops to convert to RST mechanicals. I reckon i could have a whole car convered in a weekend if i had all the parts :top:
Stembo, are you takeing out your bonus doorcards, if so, what condition are they in ;) |
Nice one danny :top: Been thinking we should have somthing like this for a while. Maybe if we ask nicely they might add in a new section for the bonus/popular sleeper boys :DD: right next to the escort rs turbo room :cool:
|
I will have to get mine outside, give it a wash and get some new pics.

If the steels fit over the RST brakes then it will spend alot of time on the steels as well to really annoy people escort mk6 and mondy mk1 steels should fit on there |
