Scottish RR day 09/02/2008 - Falkland Performance

Can we get a re run of the original stickers the same as the current header logo?!!! Used to proudly rock mine and ive just bought another black 1.2 16v for the nostalgia!

Has this made an appearance yet

Can't believe I've never seen this thread. It's funny I was never a fan of arctic blue when they were new but now I absolutely love it. Standard wheels and splitter, the way it left the factory, love it! Good work. The older I get the more I appreciate an escort too 😂😎

Not my car today but I done a wet belt for my Mrs (no) friend (also no!) new Corsa with the Peugeot PureShite 1.2 20 plate, 21k miles, check the state of this!

Bingo, you've probably missed one! (not taking the piss, ive been there!) I'm sure there's one down the back of the gearbox somewhere that i missed in between the ABS block and starter motor area. Does the fan come on when you test it with the Autel/turn the AC on? or is it just not kicking in...

OEM clutch and learn to heel and toe, no wonder people are killing them on track watching some of the videos on YouJizz

If I remember right the section that covers the tank is the same on a non RS as it is on the RS so be plenty at a breakers. The front and rear sections are the corrugated looking parts that were RS specific, but the tank section is the smooth bit with no pressed pattern in it
