Looks like a really nice example - are you going to keep it standard?

Sure i've seen those pics somewhere before, RSOC maybe? :-?

I want it to look standard, in my opinion they look the best, I'm not into wings the size of a 747 or a car that you can't drive over a speed bump in. I don't plan on too many mods engine wise either, so far it has a full stainless steel magnex exhaust and a baileys dump valve. I have in my posession a 165 superchip and plan on picking up a k&n induction, other than that probably nothing else. Oh it's lowered 10mm as well with koni adjustables, can go down another 10mm but that's too low for driving around Sheffield!

One thing i would love to know, how the hell did you spray little box sections of the car without spraying the entire wing or up to a swage line/window etc?

Suprised how well it works, i did the bottom end of my tailgate and had 2 great thick lines where i had masked it off that i couldnt sand out and even when i did get it looking half decent the paint didnt match , (new and old paint)

Reason im asking is my car just fell off the jack and the trolley jack went up the side of the car by the drivers rear arch and put a 1 inch by 1 inch dent and thick scratch into the rear quarter of mine! :x

ive just brought a 2 hp 24 litre compressor and im handy with things like that, but i was going to spray the whole quarter but if you could let me know how you can do just box sections without spraying the whole panel would be handy :-?

That is well nice, in my opinion i would put the green strips back on and maybe some later spec wing mirrors, and just tidy up the engine bay with a bit of chrome :D

Just out of curiosty how much did it cost you to get the front bumper re-sprayed and the rest of it?

Why?!


LOL, well my poor RST needed just too much work, i couldnt keep up with the bills, as im working for M&S at the moment.
i tried my hardest to find a garage to store her, or a drive way, but just couldnt in the end :(

i miss her a hell of alot, the only car ive owned that ive got into and constantly had a smile on my face! :D

but i'll be back next summer with another FRST! or Maybe a New Fiesta ST150. who knows :lol:

plus i only paid £900 for a 99S Punto, Mint too! worth at least £1700! so cant loose there :D
