Ah, that will be why then.
Stunning wheel either way. A nice split rim/centre lock or standard, thats the only way for the 3dr.

Looking at both of those ... I'm glad my centre locks are gold now... Makes a white 3dr looks and stand better IMO.

Love this car, it was one of the car's years ago that had me hunting for a set of wide CXN's
I see it's got 235's on the rear and they look loads better but what is it like on the arch's - trimmed, rolled? and what suspension

cheers chris
chris all i know is the arches are trimmed in line with the edge of the fixing point to the body so i dont think the metal has being rolled .their is a ware mark on the plastic arch at the bottom where it must catch when loaded up i would think.the suspension gaz coilovers but again i didnt notice any mods to it as the wheels were off when i seen it and a old set on .
the rear tyres even at 235 looks stretched on the rim
fronts look untouched

Stolen xr3i last night
If anyone could help me on the whereabouts of Ford Escort Xr3i
Registration: G45 NHR
Mercury Grey
It was stolen last night off my drive in the Derby / Burton area. Precisely a village called Willington. If anyone could help before it gets ruined it would be appreciated ! Only done 56k so its super tidy.
Cheers
Nath.
