escort4x4 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 how could anyone think that car looks good in the pics, for example the soft top looks rubbish ripples and doesnt fit properly at allthe front bumper well doesnt fit at all either, there is a huge gap between the light and the bumper, should be a minimal gapthe car has been rushed to be put together, the rad has been sprayed red.he claims to used genuine parts, there is sod all genuine parts used on the car, the bumper is a cheap fibre glass copy.i reckon that the paint was flakin due to a dodgy spray job, the new paint reacting with the old paint due to it not bein rubbed down properly. sorry if i sound harsh but why advertise something falsely n think ppl will let u get away wit it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_aaron Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 simple LMAOplease dont ruin your relatively good credibility with this type of reply..... everybody can stretch the truth.....hence me waiting for your reply before commenting - but with that..... i think you've set out for a cheap profit OR you've realised it was too much work and decided to put it together and try your luck......either way - WRONG. also - if knightrider didn't say anything to your face - then thats wrong to come on here and kick off too...... but there's always two sides (well ok 3 in this case) to a story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escort4x4 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 wen u said genuine parts i was hoping for genuine panels etc, wheels and dash aint really alot to go by is it, plus that front bumper is a tell tale sign of it being rushed. it doesnt line up at all, the roof is a bad fitment aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
