is there any one in romford who can do my 16v?
i took it to a normal garage for the usual oil +filter change + check over and it costy me £80 last time i went (84k)
it wasnt a bad service, but i prefer a specialist next time !
ive seen that ad aswell, and was wondering the same thing, but i guessed that it was a photoshop,
f*ck knows why they changed it from blue/silver.
it does look good though !
i had the same thing on my 16v so your not alone !

i would go local, i did on a cobra cat 1 and ive had no probs with it !
i got quoted something like 370 for a concept 300, with no add ons !
when i told gap what the car was the price jumped from what they had printed !
so i f*cked them off !
i spent 4 months looking for a mint 90 spec (last of the line H reg) escort or fiesta rst, as near to standard as poss, but they were all cr*p.
i even looked at a 1 of 50 silver k plate fiesta rst which had been in a few mags, by the time i got to see it from the new owner it was f*cked ...
mine has 195/55/15s on it as the rear tyres were that size when i got it,
the front were the normal size 185s, but when they needed replacing i got the 195s to match the rear,
to be honest i didnt notice much difference at all,
the 195s are cheaper for some reason as i think they are a...
