Rob84 Posted November 7, 2004 Author Share Posted November 7, 2004 Whats the problem with it being a cossie? Just cos it has a cossie badge don't mean there are some strict rules you have to adhere to. Thank Fcuk and major to the bloke who thought outside the box, for once. Refreshing! Hope other people wake up and do something different.......... rather than be 'different' with some alloys <{POST_SNAPBACK}> because Ford got it just right with the cossies, all of em. They were built for purpose and not looks, it was just by coincedence (sp) they looked good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 I'm all for modding, and actually LIKE that barring a few bits, but it's a COSWORTH, 'nuff said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob84 Posted November 7, 2004 Author Share Posted November 7, 2004 but cars like that were built to go well, stop well and handle well. so big wheels, stupid spoiler and massive wheels help all those attributes? do they heckers!! if u insist on modding a car to such extent, keep it to a 1.8GL, something that wasnt meant to go fast, stop well or handle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Finesse Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 because Ford got it just right with the cossies, all of em. They were built for purpose and not looks, it was just by coincedence (sp) they looked good.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Down to opinion. I'm not saying they look bad, far from it...... but modded ones can look good. So, yes built for purpose indeed..... but some people want the car to (how they see it) look good. Why can't they do this? I'd love to buy an Esc Cos and mod the exterior heavily...... Ooooo..... c'mon, I have a clue! There's being different at all costs (such as taste, ie. the 'jag corsa'). I ain't like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
