MK2 FRS.

[Kelv]

With all of these MK2 FRS threads popping up, I thought I'd jump myself on to the bandwagon and pop up a couple of pictures aswell.

opinions for and against gladly welcomed.

Are mud flaps the first thing fitted to any rs ford? Lol. Looks nice mate.

 

[JamesBryan]

Tidy

 

[adamlstr]

It's s**t, it's green. IIRC.








I have a serious hankering for one of these, it'd never get used though.

 

[Matthew]

Oh Christ, here we go again ha

 

[ekaJ]

That's how it's done properly :rasp:

Both epic machines though.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Love it!! Best one so far lol ...

 

[Hixle]

Bloody things are everywhere on here, almost as common as AMV8's, lol.

Looks great though Kelv!

 

[Gaz85]

Looks great mate, I love it with the gloss black wheels and the airtec logo'd intercooler. I have the black series on my ST with a PB airtec logo its so subtle you can't even see it lol!

Of course ST's too

WHta's with the Revo stickers? Do you get discount for putting them on? Every second car I see these days has big ones.

Craig's Cupra is the only one i've seen them really work on.

 

[Jekyll]

Nice What's the spec on this one, kelv?

Not as good as your escort cosworth though....

Shows all other road users it's been tinkered with and therefore not to bother because it'll eat them alive.

Looks mean as f*ck!

They look a little try hard but then again so does Black wheels these days, I must be getting old.

Yeah you are

 

[Munson]

Gally, have you considered that some people don't have time to clean their wheels thrice a day with cotton buds? Black wheels can be a practical option for some, as they all end up black anyway. Quite frankly, dirty silver wheels look s**t.

EDIT: and the RS' wheels are a nightmare to clean

Black wheels are fine just not on black cars. Unless that black car is something really special!

I actually prefer the look of some cars with black/dark wheels.

 

[jamier27]

Very nice.

Against the stickers but then my reasons are like the reasons I like mine debadged.. Looks like a 170hp oil burner not a 380bhp 3.0tt..
but not much point in buying a FRS for a q car!

 

[Matthew]

Although black wheels with no tyre dressing looks terrible.

 

[Gally]

When I said Black wheels I meant more towards the FRS, they can look superb on some cars agreed.

 

[Englebert]

Gloss black wheels look utter toss because it makes the tyres look brown. Matt finish is the only way to go.

Have to say, considering it is a hardly a subtle car, i would have kept with silver wheels. My sister moaned about me last week for fitter her winter wheels on her Polo with no hubcaps. She said "Now i look like a boy racer!" So for many, black wheels are deemed a bit of a barry mod...

I bet you get every little cnut try and take you on in that, so imagine the stickers serve a purpose!

 

[jesus]

Black wheels goes well with the theme - green and black. Looks brilliant mate.

 

[Scottie203]

stunning again,love these cars

personally i'd remove the revo sticker and i'm not fussed on the badged up intercooler,less is more in my eyes...

i'm guessing its running spacers as well,lovely stance

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Best colour for these in the flesh.. Difficult to photograph properly.

Love it !

 

[Kelv]

Cheers for the responses guys, I am fully aware that the green is a 'marmite' colour, you definetly either love it or hate it.
i didn't want to go OTT with the looks, it already stands out like a sore thumb anyhow, so the way it looks is how I am happy with it, even tho I did once change to Comp MO's, but soon changed back.

i had always said I'd have a white one, I liked the green but wasnt sure if I could live with it long term, until this one popped up.
id say it became an impulse purchase, the spec / miles / condition ticked everything I wanted to the dot, and I truly fell in love with it, but I am a ford RS man anyhow.

purchased at a year old with 4k on the clock and came from a ford dealer parts manager at a branch in Essex, specced how he had wanted it and came with a boot full of ford treats, but completely standard and that's what I wanted.
something to be a family car but able to still have an enthusiastic bit of Ford RS fun.

it didn't last long tho, owned 3 - 4 weeks before it went off to Rob @ SCC for the 400bhp kit, but retaining the standard Exhaust from the cat back as I wanted to keep it quiet for normal driving.
it did well tho, a few weeks later on an independent set of rollers it came out at 395bhp/440lbft.
id like to go further, but for its little use and still über low miles, I like to keep it tucked away and kept as clean as possible under its dust sheet when possible, and with other toys and a now growing family I can't see the need to alter the way it now is.

its not for everyone, but it certainly caters for my tastes and needs, and after almost 2 yrs of ownership i have no future plans to part with it
