stickers like the fez st has down the side, but saying ZT instead of ST, in dayglo orange, dayglo orange wheels and mirrors... lol
but the cage was painted the same colour as the wheels, and that is also very similar to the colour of the backs of the cobra suzukas....
hmmm

Fudgey I think you have got the finish of the car spot on mate, the wheels really set the car off and are truly unique.
top work fella.

no. its not an RS500 or a 3dr cosworth
so the modded saph bumper is staying along with the grill
although i may make an attempt to repair the bumper if i can be arsed...
but i expect ill bin it on its first track outing anyhow, so ill leave it till after then.
its not for looking at, its for abusing, thats what its been built for!

I like it, although I think it needs some sort of spoiler even just a little lip spoiler. I like the whole Zetec turbo setup.

will, i did buy an E46 m3 lip spoiler, but its about 3" a side too short!
i also have some little roof spoiler lip things, off a volvo v70 i think.
the paint finish on the car is straight out the gun, so it needs a good mop before i start sticking bits on

ps the bumper already had the middle bit cutout, hence it was FOC lol
