IMO they look fooking wicked, red cars suit ambers

[Rene 128]

White wanes definitely

[FRSJON]

well,in my opinion,the ambers make the car look older,and retro....so i think they should stay.....makes you remonise(spelling ) on the past ...

[285Andy]

they take a bit of getting used to but i wouldnt put clears back on mine for any length of time. they make the car look a bit washed out as there's so much clear lenses what with the fogs and spots

i like em dont get me wrong though, i dont dislike clears, there just my prefference

[hb69]

ambers look so much better.

grey dashes and amber indicators are back in fashion

[edders]

Ambers ftw

[Turboboy67]

Ambers are the future,

keep them on

Cheers

[C16 DAW]

lovin the ambers thinkin of doin the same 2. hey did you get the intercooler from been searchin for one that size on ebay but the one i found is 2 long all the other dimensions are the same though.

[jayrs]

it was all looking good (even the ambers) untill i saw the plate over the bumper lights, if you mesh the other side or something would look better that just 1 set of bumper lights.

saw the car proper sunday mate, looked very nice

[LeePFRST]

the ambers look wicked! gotta get the original side repeaters back on to!

[Max M4X WW]

Ambers look good i guess, Do the sides, maybe mk3.5 or puma ones to be a bit different with the mirrors.

The rears dont match but its how it could have been from the factory i guess!

[Chris 2i]

I prefer the clears, ambers don't look right on red cars imo

Your car looks great in this pic, wouldn't change a thing.

[TIL13R]

Agree above mate!

in this occassion the ambers have to go!

[TIL13R]

[Big Walker]

Clear fronts definately mate side repeaters poss amber to give a bit of colour but side's down to you really

but clear fronts

[mk3modda]

Well i rolled the fez out after a long winter, dusted it off, scratched my head, started it up ........started first time RESULT! thought about what i could do this summer even thought about selling it and getting out of this fiesta world we all live in as i wanted a change. then i came to my senses.............................................and this happend

only two pics but you get the idea.





so you will be seeing me at the shows again this year

Cheers James

[Turboboy67]

Welcome back fella, we have missed you

I spy some track prepping,

Mmmmm...........interesting

Looks like an OMP cage the same as mine

[JamieFRST]

Nice, i'm started to get tempted to do the same to mine! All these stripped out track cars popping up all over the place.

[hb69]

Wheels

Rollcage

It makes me happy to see this

[Xr_Dub]

what bolts do you use for the cage? easy to fit?

also can you fit the cage through the rear of car or do you need to take the front seats out?

i got a rear bolt in cage from saftey devcies second hand wanna fit it soon as the gbox is in and running.

looking good mate...

[mk3modda]

Cheers guys looking forward to combe now thats if i get everything fitted.

started removing the sound deadning tar pads list night what a nightmare. any tips on getting that stuff off would be much appreciated

xr-dub - if its just a rear bolt in it should be easy however i dont know about safety devices ? the OMP one fits so well i was amazed. after shaun was saying its a nightmare to do i was preparing myself for the worst but if you have a couple of you shifting it aroungd it isnt too bad.

as for bolts i am welding the plates down to the floor that are about 2-3mm thick and using a tap and die set to bolt straight through the plates and body using m10 or m8 i forget which size.

shaun have you got any tips on how you did yours? or close up pics of the mounting points

[TIL13R]

Wow............. Long time no speak mate...... ar is still looking good as ever....!

Have to meet up soon mate...

[MarkRS2K]

nice

[knuckles]

Nice wheels

Big improvement over the others

[Brammer]

Very nice car this, remember it from national day last year

[Turboboy67]

Sound deadening removal you need a hot air gun to soften it up and a scraper,

then to finish, thinners, should end up something like this



no close ups of base plates but its 3 or 4mm thick steel approx 100mm square,

The order I did it in.

1 put cage in, and bolt front section to roof (not easy but possible)

then put steels leg supports in place and mark holes,

remove supports and drill and tap, put supports back in and bolt in place then tack weld.

remove cage and paint it, weld supports in and paint whats needed,

then put it all back in again and bolt it all in place, job done.

took me about a couple of days to do it, thats why I say never again

Good luck and hopefully see you @ Combe

[GavStyli]

looking good geeza!
i prefer the std wheels too, was wondering where the hell you gone
thought you emigrated!

[mk3modda]

looking good geeza!

thought you emigrated!

well the standard ones wont be on there for long, as im getting magnesium compomotives

yeah its been a while, im a fair weather poster

[rstirl]

lovely car!

if you are keeping it on non standard wheels then keep it on clear indicators.

i think amber indicators only suit completely standard red RSTs. they are class on white RSTs as they strongly contrast. but on red RSTs amber and red are too similar a colour and they clash as a result. (if my girlfriend heard me talking about matching colours she'd be so proud!....or worried...!)

what diameter is the exhaust tip and what brand, if you dont mind me asking?! must get one soon and yours looks about right

[mk3modda]

picked up my oz and compo alloys both magnesium !! 350 for 6 oz mags and 4 compo mags 15" result !!

its a 4" rolled out scorpion system they sound the best too

[mk3modda]

and they are group A fitting with all the bits i need to change it all over

[bakewell001]

Sounds like a bargain! Are they in good condition?
