Yeah wind deflectors instantly ruin anything. I don't mind these shape Polos, though think I would just buy a Golf if I wanted a VW or, if I wanted a car that size, a Fiesta ST would probably poop on one of these from a great height.

 

[Rob]

Awesome!

Papped these a couple of years ago in Southwark:

This is nothing exotic, so if you w**k over Ferraris look elsewhere.

Parked up in my gym carpark

Never knew RPF1's would suit a Polo but I think it looks the tits

They always look good over the front brakes but the rear wheels look lost and they don’t look as good

The same guy passed me me on Monday in his Bugatti..

There was a new Fez ST there too

He was clearly a bit of a spanner because he saw me get into my car and when he drove past he felt the need to make it pop and bang. Fiesta drivers are pretty strange

Stolen from FB, BTCC liveried and an exhaust tip so big you can fit 3 Estonian families in there!

That actually is a good rep, apart from the exhaust.
I was only saying the other day that making race reps was the thing years ago, but you don’t see it now. And with wrapping and cheaper produced body kits it would easy and probably look awesome!

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

That looks pretty good! It's hard to get a BTCC rep right because the real thing is so low, but that doesn't look too bad apart from the exhaust.

I did see a rep of a recent Focus BTCC car at Autosport earlier this year but, as above, it's not very common these days.

 

[Short Norman]

you'd really drive around in a stickered up race car replica?

 

[Krarl]

A mate of mine is making a BTCC Nescafe rep out of his Laguna 😂

I'd love to drive one, better than something beige and dull. Conversation starter etc

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

As an every day car, probably not, because I would probably go all-out and have it stripped out inside too. But, as a toy/weekend car, I wouldn't have a problem with it at all. If people judge me based on the car I drive, that's their problem, not mine.

yup i used to drive my stickered up race cars regularly!! even used to drive it nearly 200 miles to the track test, qualify, race then drive it home 200miles

yeah but you drive a clio so you've got to adopt that attitude 🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

[cliocollins]

I think they're great. Only a weekend toy, not sure how I'd feel about it daily.

Martini Delta Integrale? f**k yeah. I'd buy milk in half pints so I could pop to the shop every time I wanted a cuppa 😂.
That Laguna looks good but from BTCC I'd have to rep the Alfa 155.

Volvo 850 all the wayl

Yes

 

[KitsonRis]

Nearly owned an actual BTCC Volvo. Was their old press car so it looked identical to the race cars but had no engine or gear box. Can't remember if it was standard suspension, probably was as it wasn't mega bucks!

The estate was a bit of a flop as I remember it. They switched to a saloon after a while which done better

 

[Krarl]

Aye but the estate got more dicks hard

 

[thecrim22]

passed a old volvo 340 in a layby earlier god awful cars

 

[Mork of Ork]

Listerine 3 series for me, it's got a giant pink dragon on the bonnet!

 

[Big Toe]

I think everyone knew someone close who had a saloon car where there was a race version in the BTCC.

With the livery they all looked good, they even managed to make the 406 look good with the Ultron colours

time to dig out toca on the ps1

How has it only done 3 miles before 2014?? That doesn't make sense

import and new clocks maybe?

Doubt it.

I've given far too much thought to putting a badge (and I mean the badge, not the plate!) like that on the back of mine.

Far too much.

 

[Nickw88]

Double-points spot for me the other day, forgot to post up afterwards.

 

[Short Norman]

saw an Aston Martin DBX yesterday in what looked like pearl white, looked lovely.

Wouldn't personally have picked that colour but it did very look nice.

Standard Focus RS worth some Mountune engine tweaks giving it almost identical power to mine.

The pictures don't really show just how small the little 1 series is, it's dwarfed by the Focus!

 

[Paulie031]

Yet my E39 M5 was about the same size as my mates 135i, shows how much bigger cars have got

 

[thecrim22]

a couple while out and about the day.
