Everyones got their own ideas and opinions i know 
I'm leaving the '3i stickers on and not colour coding the spoiler. The black bit round the back window shows its a '3i too.
So basically some people will think 'yeh mate, turrrbo' but people that know what they're on about will easily notice that it's a 3i
which is what I want as I don't want an rs rep but love the kit off them 
You got any ideas for wheels?

Fair play, as you say each to their own!
Those black Mo's you posted earlier would look ace or how about some of these?

cheers 'neil73' - hopefully I'll have a bit of money soon and I'll get back to you on that!
LITTLE UPDATE:
Walked out my house yesterday to find another red beast, so obviously, went into stealth mode ..... and took the pic lol:
Later on I went up to my mates garage, got her up on the ramps and fit the four branch. Absolute ball ache to do but got there in the end.
Sounds gorgeous and you can definitely feel the difference :
Excuse the dirt, she needs to be cleaned :P

Little update: spent a day cleaning the car, especially the engine bay, also fitted chrome strut tops which came in the post. Big thanks to 'B19 LBP' for them
Plus, has anybody got any 40mm springs willing to trade for 60's? Want to heighten the car a lil, speed bumps round here are a nightmare.
Few pics below (before putting the chrome tops on though
)
Next to a mates polo GT

I told you them 4 branches are worth getting makes it sound so much better
if your still planning on fitting bigger wheels id leave your suspension as it is untill youve got them theres nothing worse than a car looking like its on stilt

Right I'm going to hate myself for doing this but I've been struggling to cope with money big time at the moment as I haven't got a job and it's hard finding one round here at the moment.
How much do you lot think I could get for my Xr3i?
General info and good bits:
* 8 months m.o.t - 3 months tax approx.
* H reg - EFI
* 80,000 genuine mileage
* 'Nearly' Full Service history
* Electric mirrors and windows
* Magnecor KV85 HT leads
* Chrome Strut tops
* Chrome battery cover
* Chrome bonnet stay
* Ashley Four branch manifold
* Stainless backbox
* Lowered 60mm on GMAX springs and shocks
* White clocks
* RS Turbo skirts and arches
* Clear indicators
* clear side repeaters
* Near mint interior
* Serviced not long ago including oil and filter change, air filter and fuel filter.
* Never been touched with a welder! very very good shell compared to the majority of escorts out there
* I have all the standard bits to go with the car.
* Alpine speakers all round in original places
* JVC Headunit
Bad bits:
* one dot of rust 2 inches above petrol cap
* 5p sized dot below rear right light
* needs doors as somebodys tried breaking in (cheap on ebay as you probably know, quoted Ł30 for the pair at the moment from a guy in cumbria)
* needs a little plate welding to the right of the fuse box (worst bit of the car)
Little bit more money spending on her and she'll be an absolute beauty!
How much do you think I'd get for her?
IF YOUR INTERESTED THEN CALL ME ON 07541425199

put it back to standard and get a set of doors fitted and its easy worth 4 figures
me personally, i would keep it as it will only go up in value if you look after it properly

I'd love to but I'm in need of money big time.
Always time in the future to get one I suppose.....
Just hard to find one in decent condition, mines got a few flaws, but if you spend a bit of money, not much at all! it could easily be a show car from the condition of it.

ok ok ok calm down
Ł1000 and I'd be happy, only needs a little bit of money on a bit of bodywork as I've stated and she'd be perfect.
That price includes all the things I've put on it and the standard parts that have been taken off.
Is that a reasonable price?
Surely to some people it'll be worth that and more, if put to standard and the aftermarket parts sold seperate you'd get a lot more but I really need money now to be honest...
