Re: The Recaro Fiesta - Rs alloys
Im keeping the holes on the front wheels. Im told that they were prototype Rs alloys for the first few Fiesta Rs made.... So on that basis i want to keep them.

Those wheels looked stunning on Sunday.
After seeing them, I'm seriously considering dumping my big brakes and putting
a set back on myself
Keep up the good work

Re: The Recaro Fiesta - Rs alloys
Excellent photoshop chris - i cant wait to get them on
I do agree that the rear end needs raising a tad , the coilovers need a refurb and one side sits higher than the other....
I often look back over this post and realise how much work has gone into the Rs to get it looking half decent again. When i got it i didnt plan to go back to standard in the slightest but now i think its the way forward to hold its value. Also I love the retro look
