Smo :Think it's just a taste thing - that a majority of people simply prefer the look of a 3 door over a 5 door. I definitely like the look of a 3 door a lot more than a 5 door.

Saying that, if it's done right, then a 5 door can be just as good as any 3 door, to me. Look at festajon's or phatboy's, they're both awesome looking cars, but it's because they've been done right.

I'm sure Brad's is going to look great from seeing those initial shots

*cough*

keep the pics coming...how sweet do those rims look

i think due to the size of those wheels you'd need the extra size of a 5 door car to make it look right. id think that a 5 door on rs 7's would always look better than a 3 door.

by **Superal** on Tue Apr 26, 2005 1:31 pm

what extra size? the 3dr and 5dr are exactly the same size except the 5dr has shorter front doors to accomodate two rear doors

My progress with the same wheels, they fit now, just gonna get some blades so i can cut the plastic arches back,

5 doors are slightly longer and have the thicker rear pillar. thats why i think the wheels suit them better.

Mental engine - that looks really similar to the Duratec V6 engine, I wonder if Ford just nicked it from Mazda like it did with the Duratec 4 pot!

Good project.

As for your statement about Max Power lads masturbating over Lancer EVO's even though they've got 5 (4) doors - well - they only made them in 4 door.

A Fiesta was made in 3 door and 5 door configuration. Everyone knows taht they didn't make any of the sporty models in 5 door configuration, closest they got was the 1.6 Si, so generally it puts people off. I personally think that 5 doors add too much panel gap and there's no way of getting around the fact that the car was originally designed to pick the kiddy-winks up from school easily without having to flip the front seats forward to let them in

Doesn't mean that 5 doors don't look good - it's just alot of the reason why people say 'why bother with a 5 door' because it adds alot more work to the project to make it look nicer

Cheers,

Andy

I know, thats my point, 5 door cars are cr@p but evo's are mint according to chive's.

I like 5 door fiesta's, nice to see em modded, makes a change, was quite impressed with this 1...
