Default New toy, 3dr road/track car

Well after not getting as much time as I'd like to get on with my rs500 touring car rep I had the opportunity to by this 3dr so I did.

Some of you may know this car as it was January 2014 fast ford cover car and initially had rs2000 style livery on it.

It ticked all the boxes for me due to touring car styling, side exit exhaust and all the upgrades it's had and I'm well chuffed with it. It's currently running around 400bhp but has a fully forged engine capable of 500 plus but to be honest it's plenty quick enough.

The only issue I have at the minute is I'm mainly wanting to do track days and abuse the car really and think this maybe far to clean for that I don't want to risk damaging it as it's mint.

I'm currently having my e50 Bbs centre locks refurbed so they will be on it shortly and can't decide if I want to go touring car livery or not.

Anyway here it is

Stunning car mate, Ive always liked the look of this motor stickers or not.

Out of interest is the steering wheel suede or alcantara as I'm looking at getting an aftermarket one?

Cheers Paul

Hi Paul. Cheers for the comments. Funny enough the only things I've changed on it since I've had it are steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake lever. The steering wheel is suede mate. I went for that as it had a leather 4 spoke genuine rs one but I wanted the touring car look and there's suede/alcantara elsewhere in the car.

This is the wheel it had on it when I got it. Probably worth twice what I paid for the new one lol.

remember that car - love the wheels on it too - i would keep them and swap them over from time to time as it saves the BBS from getting ruined
