no pics as of yet cos i havent a clue how 2 put them up. It was at well lane a few weeks ago gettin the turbo sorted, ive never had it on the rollers but they said it should b around 350bhp. He said its had a lot of money spent on it like, ive only owned it 4 a couple of weeks. All i know is it's a stage 3, on 803 greens, nd a hybrid turbo. A mate of mine owns ur old silver fiesta turbo

milkman cool, has he stuck a bigger intercooler yet?

heres a photoshop Radder's done for me, thinking of possibly breaking my clio valver instead of selling it whole and using the 17" Superleggera's with a few mods to make em fit



what you think ?

I'm glad you have finally given 17's a chance
More room for big brakes now
But I really do think that you should keep the RS1600i graphics

will have to go for big discs if i have the big wheels looks crap otherwise

looks like the decals are the most popular option too.

the idea of raising the rear of the bonnet is an option, but ive decided only if the under bonnet temps are too high

and im definitely keeping the standard indicators

You've got to keep the graphics! It's decided! All looking good Ben, it's easy to miss a lot of progress when you leave a thread like this for a month or so!! Meaty cage!
