it's not as expensive as you think, well, not round here :thumb:

downside to living close to royal ascot and windsor. prices are extortionate. local ford garage wanted £36 for floor mats but got them from somewhere up north with postage for about £25

have had to order new front shocks as mine have decided to collapse (probably strain of new coils??) :nutter:

only getting standard shocks and keeping standard springs as i dont want to ruin the ride just yet :P

other news, i am just waiting to recieve the quote from the body shop for gettin both arches done properly, both quarters re-sprayed and rear bumper re-sprayed.

then its save up for alarm system, tyres for the 16's, aircon re-gas (before the summer) and new front windscreen

once everythings fitted and this lots done my car will not have anything else done to it.

 

well, probably :P

that is what i have done to mine and i have also tinted the rear lights too

thats on your Si - think it looks amazing :) not a huge fan of the RS2K wheels myself though. dont know why but they just seem dated and wrong. hence the GTI's on mine, soon to be swapped for mondeo 16's

each to their own as they say :)

love the mk1 btw. my dad said you should have got a RS shell, 2.0 pinto, paint it white with the blue decals and all the RS2000 bits, then sold it to him :P

What a read! Don't think I can add anything that hasn't already been said tbh although you NEED to stop buying and start fitting lol!

 

lose the gti badge. its not a gti. its a ghia

same engine as GTI though. and its a ghia x - the ultimate expression of escort

:roll: :roll:
