I like the colour, not so keen on some parts of the kit.

It's worth a look, but check out the front panels as it's a mk5b with mk6 panels up front.

I am not keen on the colour mate, but i am thinking its the pics that make the colour look funny. :)

Go for it mate if you want it, you still going to keep the fez? :-?

yeah was just wondering what people thought of it. I guess i just want something a bit faster but im happy to wait i guess. its only 10 mins from where i live. I do intend to keep hold of my xr2i until i have my focus rs (keeps dreaming) :lol:

ive asked the seller to advertise it on here and pf.com so hopefully he might do in the next few days.

not bad, colour is different, stands out, so i like that.
not 1005 about that front bumper though, looks alright from front on, but that other pic makes it look like it sticks out a fair bit, which is good for sitting on when at the pub i guess :lol:
