I spot two screws at the very bottom, but what about the piece going along the window?

All coments good or bad welcome!!

Personally... I dont think im too keen on the black sections on front bumper.. This is how the wrc cars are but obviously white with black.. Not sure if it works with blue as good...
And i deffo need some coilovers!! But overall i do like it a hell of alot

This is very true fella, i can see this being a big hit and a change in the show scene, not normally do you see big power WRC kitted FRS cars, normally kitted 1.6`s or maby zetec turbos

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiispek

i built a RWD escort with a YB in it, dulled it down

i like it mate.. i think once the lights are back in and maybe a little lower will be much better.. are you going to fill in the gaps on the sides of the cooler.. must admit i thought it was going to look awfull seeing the kit in white but i like it now...

The intercooler will be getting a coat of satin black,
Would like to mke some scoops towards the intercooler to help fill the gaps,
Also think i will mesh the opening in the bumper as this will be used on the road and i can see my 150 mile journey to work down the m1 leaving the intercooler a little worse for ware if i dont mesh it.. Lol

Got some other little things i want to do too,
Gr performance stickers,
And some lime green vinyl bits doing on the spoiler,
And maybe some others,
Not seen it in the flesh myself as yet, but i cant wait to!!

Looks good, shame its not 4x4 for that spoiler to work properly as it will probably transfer weight to the rear at speed and that's not going to help a FWD especially with plenty of grunt

I dont think it would transfer the weight as such
But the front will be lower anyway,

Will deffinatly hinder my top speed ability!! So got another boot lid just for that occasion

I hated the world cars with that kit on, but I actually like that against the Imperial Blue.

Don't like the black on the front bumper, but all in all a great effort. with the looks & power.
