Is it possibly to make alternatives? My rally car runs Compbrake reservoirs and none of the caps in my Gunson kit fitted it, so I bought a spare reservoir and made my own cap.
I saw the first one, but the miles are a bit strong for me. I do about 18-20k a year so would prefer something a bit lower. Second one doesn't look bad though. I was going to spend £6/7k but I just don't think I can be bothered now, so something like this is a bit more appealing. If you happen...
Like that. Am in the market for something like this but struggling to find anything. Want an estate really, which instantly seems to make it a pain in the arse.
Good job on taking off all the tat. I have a deep hatred for wind deflectors.
I can't really see a difference to be honest. One is a Focus with some extra gauges and fancy Recaro seats, while the other is, err, a Focus with some extra gauges and some fancy Recaro seats. The MK3 Focus doesn't have the most attractive dash in it's class (though neither did the MK2), but...
I think the Red Edition looks bloody brilliant personally. The standard colour palette was all monochrome apart from Nitrous. Red should have been a standard colour option. You could never expect too many interior changes. They've added the choice options, what else were they going to do? The...
I was never that into the black badges. With the chrome in the lights, I think chrome badges look fine. I'd definitely try some different wheels. The ones you have are probably the best of the OEM ones (apart from the Trophy-R Speedlines), but the right aftermarket wheels transform these cars in...
Just had a read through this, lovely car. I look at these more and more as time goes on, would really like to add a 197 or 200 to the fleet. The re-trim is just spot-on.
I could not in a million bring myself to spend £5k+ on a 1*2. I love them to bits, but that's mental money considering they're not that old or that collectible yet.
Cheers guys, good to meet those of you I haven't met before! Fun little blast along the coast road too!
Few pictures from the sea front:
Look forward to the next one! Can't remember who suggested it, but doing something at Snetterton could be cool. Nice run up the coast when we get...
I totally get that and, in terms of driving enjoyment, I would be 100% with you, handling over power any day. However, most real world driving isn't about threading a car anywhere. In the real world, good mid range grunt and comfort is much easier to live with for most people.
Different strokes...
