Appreciate the effort, but i really don't like it. Too much. Alloy bits should be alloy coloured imo, and don't like the obviously fake crossover. Few bits of carbon mixed with polished alloy would do it for me

The cam cover and other little details on your car looks even better in real life fella, had a good look at it in Ford Fair....but the catch tanks lets it down not being in carbon

Right a small update today ,after going to Gatebil a couple of years ago and seeing all the cars with the downswept tailpipes ,i knew i had to get round to doing one ,seeing it on lukes fiesta aswell i knew it would work, so i got hold of some 3 inch stainless 90 degree bend,cut the pipe at the angle i wanted and trundled over to my mate dave and his workshop to fabricate and fit the pipe,i am well chuffed with the results as it is much more subtle.

Hey Dave,

Fairly new to passionford, but been on the ford scene for some great time. And i have to say this is the best rst i have seen.

I am rebuilding my Xr3i and if it looks anything near a patch on yours i will be more than extatic.

Cheers,

Joe
