I forgot about this pic. taken off my phone. I've borrowed my dads dlsr to get some quality 1s but just not had chance yet. pretty pleased the green bin is nearly 3metres away from car

 

thanks stu

 

Done a nice job there! What colour is it btw?

 

Cool pic.

It looks a bit like smokestone blue.

 

Was wondering that... I remember when I worked at Ford, there was a guy had one that colour, that he'd owned from new and a blue one that was the daily driver/donee car.

 

it is indeed smokestone but according to v5 its grey

 

Its a lovely colour isnt.

 

Didn't realise DVLA were colourblind?! Lol

 

yeh in my top 3 colours for a saph

 

I know dvla are stupid but I think the fault must lie with ford. who else would tell them grey

 

Thanks, some of the numbers on your box match the numbers on my springs so hopefully they are the same

I really hope so, your Saff sits really nice

Looking good mte

 

I have been thinking about the wheels. And don't think Id be happy without the deepdish rs reps. So thought balls to it and ordered a set!
They turned up today.





just need the rubber now!
they'm 7 1/2" 17 et 35 so iv been told will fill arches great

 

I like them! Should fill the arches just right. Look forward to seeing them on the car!

 

They look good matey.

 

They are lovely mate!!

 

im test fitting the wheels, I guys I got the wheels from forgot to send me spigot rings, so although the standard nuts fit perfect im not going to drive it til they arrive.

I LOVE IT

 

Really like that!! Wheels suit it really well!

 

Looks cool is f#@k on them wheels

 

They look the mutts nuts mate!! Well done!!!!!

 

this 1 was taken with canon eos 500D

 

They look awesome! What size tires are they? Guessing 35's? The wheel design/tire profile make them look biggerthan a 17"!?

 

wheels are 7 1/2 17 et 35 tyres 205 40 17 landsail for a budget theym supposed to be pretty good. local place wanted Ł180 for those tyres, that auction site Ł129.95+ Ł 20 to fit bargain!

 

They look lower than 40's? Same size as my fronts, but mine look bigger?!


Thing is, the tires might be budget, but at least they get you started, always upgrade in future, just do two at a time!

 

Looks lovely mate, needs to be left exactly like that no Cossie bumpers no spoiler. My old drift car Cossie rep is getting put back to a standard 2.0 Ghia.

 

I wont be fitting any other cossy bits Jim. I was reading about your drift car on the other forum. Be nice to see it when original

 

Is there anyway of finding out where this car was registered? I'm going to buy new number plates so I want to try and get some dealer plates made up for her.

 

Do you know where in the country it first came from? The 1st and 2nd of the last 3 letters of the reg tell where it was registered....

 

I do now google was my friend.
This registration was first registered during the period August 1990 to July 1991.
The registration was first registered in Chelmsford.

 

Snap! Same as me...
I was lucky, my handbook pack included the supplying dealer paperwork as Rates in Grays. I did have a dealer directory from late 80's / early 90's
The only thing to bear in mind is if it's had a plate change? My reg is currently 'VOX', (Coventry) but was first registered as 'BNO' (Chelmsford)

 

That looks the muts nuts on them wheels

 

spigot rings arrived today, a week and a day from the wheels .
I hate bullshitters, the bloke said he was sending last Wednesday, Gave it til sat then contacted him again, then he said they will be with me by Monday.They never showed. So on Tuesday I messaged him again. He said if they don't arrive today he would resend them. The fool never posted them til 28th april
Rant over.

 

not done much to her, only cleaned and waxed her.
Quick pic from the show

Looks nice on them wheels.

 

Simply and elegance, that's perfect mate
