Mercury grey Saf with Hocks & Touring Car Style mirrors
Fitted the mirrors on Saturday which the Twins had kindly modded the original Sierra mirror bases to fit these bad boys
Then today I decided to fit the freshly refurbed Hocks on the car, it drives so smooth now and I can't fathom how buckled the RS7s must be
What you reckon?
The front wheels have a spacer still attached to them which I have left on for time being as the clearance maybe needed for the brakes. Need to bring the rears out a little tho, altho the last pic shows it worse than it really is as the front wheels aren't quite straight there

doorcards were originally tatty early grey ones which i rattlecanned satin black as a temp fix whilst i wait for mine to turn up from the retrimmers.
Al, I really love the mirrors as they are different and you dont see many people changing mirrors on these cars - more people change the roofs than mirrors
As for Wanli Ditchfinders i got them cheap at a show as was going to burn them out on the bimmer but that will be running 15s now so these were spare and i needed tyres so the most economical thing was to use them 
I dont have the power to spin the wheels properly anyway

good choice with the hocks 
mine are et35 i believe with 6mm spacers on the front to clear the focus rs brembos, and a 5mm spacer on the back to bring them out to match.
currently running 215/40r17s all round but ive got a set of 235x40r17 to go on the back when i get my beam fitted, might have to lose the spacers but should be ok.
btw, where did you get your 500 splitter from as the fit looks loads better than mine?

Fraser its a Rouse splitter and was on the car when i bought it - fitment is perfect
Im leaving the spacers on the front as i will prob need the clearance and the stance is god, just need to bring the rears out a little and i have the 5mm spacers somewhere in one of my garages
What colour are your hocks?
It got mine done in dark Silver
