I would certainly echo this, albeit in a slightly different line. As a professional writer/editor, I never read my old work after it's been published, as I will always find stuff I want to change!

As above, good quality is a must, and make sure you use longer bolts or spacers that bolt to the hub. In terms of geometry, it can have a negative impact but, provided you don't go too wide, you probably won't notice in reality.

They weren't? It is literally impossible to keep up with your Volvo-based antics.

I preferred the big pimpin' five spokes to be honest.

Some of those HAVE to be in!

Protects the floor and the tyre.

That Singer is bloody lovely.

Because he sold his 172 Cup and has since realised that they're the best Clio.

Cheap Cups are out there, but so are cheap Ph1s. You'll always get the odd bargain if you're lucky, but there has definitely been an uplift in prices across the board in the last couple of years. Cheap 1*2s have become harder to find than they were. Which will end up as the more valuable...

I always preferred them on the RS option seven-spoke wheels myself, especially the diamond cut ones. Didn't think the curvy spokes of the Cosworth wheels suited the RS Turbo ever so well.

I guess rarity will always be on its side. I think the phase 1 will always attract attention as it's less common than the phase 2 and was the original, but I'm not sure the Exclusive will be worth much more.

I don't know if the Exclusive will really, as it's not very desirable. 172 Cup will, because it's one of the most special variants, memorable and increasingly rare as so many are turned into track cars.

Yeah, bonkers really. Quite a wide offset too as I recall. Something like ET25, so about 15mm wider than most Fords. They do look good though!

I bet they drove f**king terribly though. I had a few MK5/6 Escorts with 17x7J rims and the tram-lining was monumental :LOL:

Yeah I remember that too. They were quite a popular mod on normal Escorts, RS Turbos and Saph Cossies and the like, but the prices have gone mad for all that stuff now.

And more... Charger Hellcat Alfa 4C (beautiful but I didn't fit in it) I didn't know a Nissan Patrol Nismo was a thing, but apparently it is:

Few more Saudi Arabian spots...

I think that looks better than the hatch to be honest. The rear of the hatch hurts my eyes.

Loads of places seem to do the kit. Hard to know who does the best quality though. Maxi Motorsport do one that they import from France. Hardest part will be getting the front suspension right, as it will need to be a fair bit wider.

I saw a LY 182 here in Jeddah earlier. Couldn't get a picture unfortunately though. Didn't expect to see one of them!
