The paint looks cracking! Fancy coming to Scotland to spray a s2? Ha ha.

Just out of interest. What did you use for the inner wheel arches? Mine is radiant red too and I used normal black underseal, as soon as I put it on I wished I had colour coded it!

Cracking. Always liked the fiesta turbo since I worked on one as a 17 year old apprentice. Think thats why i bought a black 2i when I was 18 and put the green strips in the bumpers instead of the blue and the wheels. Never could find a vented bonnet so that was the only thing that let it down apart from lack of turbo engine. Had to make do with a 16 efi cvh.
