It's the height more than anything else, they look a bit, well, "frumpy" from certain angles.

I'm considering a set of springs as the V6 kept the original pre-facelift height, facelift was lower by 25mm. I just dont want to ruin the ride as it's actually quite a nice drive. But 30mm drop and some 15mm spacers would do nicely. @gally Got any pics of yours?

Leon Cupra R splitter. Used to be £15, now rocketed to £50. Bellends.

Bit of an update, managed to get my speakers mounted to some baffles and then onto the card, they sound a little better 2018-07-26_09-58-05 by Phil Cookson, on Flickr Got my sleek phone holder fitted 2018-08-10_03-20-53 by Phil Cookson, on Flickr Then ran all the wiring down to the boot for...

Bwaaaaarrrrp, those TU lumps sound amazing on bodies

She left him a few post-it notes in different handwriting telling him to sell it.

WOW. That's exactly like I had at 16 years old. 1.6 Ghia. Brown vinyl roof with brown velour trim. Even had a rev counter on the dash. VTE 2T. Shame I don't have any photographs of it. I sold it in 1996 and it was last due for tax in 2004

This is the kind of thread I love to see. Mk1 valvers have a little place in my heart after owning a naples red one many many moons ago. Good luck with the resto, looks like you've got it all in hand.

What's the crack with the door/wing in this pic Looks like it's been painted and they have gone up to a tape line

This is epic, moreso by the fact it's on steels. Proper stealthy. How come you've gone for a side exit?

Didn't Fred move there?

Looks like an R32 GTR, which cant be a bad thing

My word that looks BAD ASS

Why no more pics of the missus?

Those wheels should only ever be on a Phs2 Mk1 16v

They stretch, and when they do, it's a gearbox off job.

Bad news man. Its a shame Ford never got their act together with these as they were a very capable car.

Awful.

Well, what a waste of 3mins that was. Thought it was going to be a vid of you mashing it

I've had 2 maritius blue Mk1 saxos in the past, a VTR on the Mk2 VTS wheels, and an original VTS. Both great cars, rev happy little things. Prices seem to have rocketed over the last few years as they all get scrapped for welding or turned into "track cars" and end up upside down in a gravel...

Another set of numbers?

This is brilliant!!!

I'd say my Sapphire cossie and my Nova Van. Bought the cossie for £5k in 2003, sold it in 2004 for £2,000.00 and a Mk4 escort cab with a 1900 CVH turbo, which I then moved on for £2,500.00, so only lost £500 plus repairing a few bits. That car would probably be worth £12k now. Pikiescossie by...

EPIC EPIC EPIC But the beans hanging off that plate would send me wild!!!

You can tell that's a rep as the proper XR2s had satin black paint around the windows Still a tidy looking thing though

Why the hate?

Still looking lovely.

Has anyone actually knocked on to ask about the car recently?

Ooooofffft, solid purchase!!

Looking well Dave. I did the DISA on my old 330i, took about half an hour and I felt the car ran better afterwards.
