Alright matt, car's lookin clean as ever, like the stripes, always been a fan of them! not sure about the door stickers tho, or a couple of other bits, but each to their own as u say.

 

vroooom ptssssh
thanks mate,the car is actually covered in road salt !

but i will wash it soon.......
ish

 

im sorry to say this but i would die for your car it would be a pleasure of mine to get run over by you anyway i love the chromed engine bay with the mirrors reflecting down onto it no wonder you got 1st place with detail like that and the interior very top noch i read alot of ford mags even the american ones and i'd have to say that is definetly the best modified s1 ive ever laid eyes on keep up the good work all it needs is that 250 bhp mark and it would be supreme

 

dont want to buy her mate
no serious thanks for that !!!
my mates 1.8 zvh was simlilar spec to mine and made 220 bhp BUT mine has the big valve head and hybrid where his had std so maybe it could see 250 but i doubt it.
thanks again! matt
