Re: The RS Turbo

haven't touched the engine bay yet, will give it a good cleanup today

Standard spec:

Electric windows with winders on the back.
Electric mirrors.
Electric Hood.
Recaro Seats.

Mods:

4" backbox.
Dump valve.
Phase 1 Turbo.
CD player with Amp and Sub.
Turbo Systems Superchip.
Rsturbo Caliper and Discs.

Stuff do be done:

deffinately need to get rid of them amber indicators, maybe change the rear lights to afterburner style rear lights or just tint them in gloss black.

not sure if i should get some different alloys but i quite like the rs turbo ones one.

EDIT: THE WHEELS LOOK TERRIBLE ON THE PICS, IT'S JUST BRAKE DUST LOL!
Whats up with the backbox on a car like that

Re: The RS Turbo
They aren't foglights, they're spot lights- come on with the main beam.

I thought they looked good on mine, but when I took them off the car looked much 'cleaner' styling-wise... plus the N/S lamp blocks airflow to the intercooler.

Re: The RS Turbo/not for insurance comments, see Ins Section
Nice mate!!
Personally, i'd leave the spots on there, but would be looking for some standard headlights as soon as poss. Clear indicators ordered so won't go there other than to say make sure you keep standard amber ones. Same with back lights, i'd say tint over afterburners but only if you get some standards to go back on when you sell.

And hate to be another one to say but that exhaust... please please change it, sure it sounds ace and all but its a complete chav mobile atm with that on, needs a more subtle one. Defo a less is more car IMO

keep the spotlights, get rid of the light masks/round headlight conversion. Escorts of this style and older look best with spotlights. look dull otherwise and hints at their rallying heritage. plus spotlights make it more fun driving at night down small unlit country roads.
