I'm not really sure tbh mate lol,.I love the look of splits, especially the type that are on the moonstone one on this thread, then again if I could get hold of some th2s in the right offset for a 3dr I think that would look good. I'm not desperate to change the wheels cos I do like them but it's just a good way of making it look less like Davies and more like mine lol

Yeah agree with that Karl, the bit about making cars your own, hence why I thought about changing them on the saff, BUT after photoshops I'm defo going to stick with what I have on mine

Your Taxi will always be Tarrens Pete im afraid to say. Might sound harsh but unless you make major changes thats what it will be.

Yeah that was one of the good things about my sapph, I built it to how i wanted it over the years and it was known as my car, I'm not too bothered about it being recognised as Davies, just means someone else has spent loads of cash getting it how it is instead of me for a change lol

Steve,

That doesn't bother me one bit mate tbh, it's mine now not Tarren's, you could say that about any multiple owned car then really. Lol.

This car hasn't changed Spec in yrs Steve, i have pics of the car before Tarren owned it, same rims, spec, coilovers etc etc then, Tarren just carried on keeping it minty mint with some nice subtle changes.

Imo it needs nothing now, I'm not spending for the sake of it just to say, " it's my car now"

Karl it's simple put your motor in, stick 500 spoilers on the rear and a set of Gold (correct Gold) RL7's on and you have a dream motor

Sierra perfection here



On Black - this is why i want a proper set of RL7 in 3dr fitment

They were magnesium/alloy mix, the 18" suffer really bad as i've had a set and wouldn't even put them on the car - the 17" were better due to less mag - Ears motorsport made ones are more desirable as they are made from alloy but cost more and are rare.

Generally these are mainly alloy structure and strong but not as desirable as the newer version, i had a mint set and sold them on here to a member

It's funny as once upon a time they were said to be common on 3dr/500's but it's rare to see a car with them on now - i'm sure NY Paul is hoarding dozens of sets

They do suit the stance well actually, never been a massive fan of RL7's tbh but they do look good there

I saw your car last year at classic ford and it does look very good on those, does that mean you're selling the th2's?

TH2's all day if you want to be different Karl, not many folk have done it plus you are not the type of person to follow the trend
