werent originally going to get them, i actually went down fords to order the same alloys but normal alloy finish but the bloke showed me a catalogue and had chrome finish ones so thought id go for those as hadnt seen a set before and thought they wouldnt look ott cos still genuine ford alloys

personally i think it looks the bollox i think the mods that have been done are very subtle and suit the car down to the ground, yes it looked good standard but things can always be amproved and i think it is a job well done, and as for the halfords catalogue i dont see stick on mods everywhere and neons lights i think it looks very tastefull, love the plate also!!

nice clean one you got but i'd be loosing the tailgate asap and the wheels which although look nice,really arent for a mk2

as for the car though in general then very nice

My sentiments exactly.

Still needs a turbo lump in it though

Me too

I thought it was spot on when it was standard, was quite surprised to see the 5 spoke wheels, then the chrome ones

Not really a fan of the clear's either, although I think they may look better if the original wheels were back on, or older style ford wheels.

All these things can be reversed though, but not the smoothed boot

You said it was a rare model, and is very clean, I'd have left it looking how it did, but that's what modding is all about mate, and you obviously like it, so good on you for being different

Nice job on the engine bay as well
