Postby rst-steve on Sun Jul 11, 2010 11:11 am

Hi all, i'm sure this is a familiar car to many people, but here is my new Fiesta RS Turbo, recently purchased from Aaron (fiend) 8)

Haven't had a chance to get any really good photos yet, but did get this one................

If any of the previous owners are on here, i'd love to hear from them!

You know it makes sence tho, that will be simply awesome if you get one too! 8)

looks real nice dude

saw this in the metal when i did my 1st FT.com show/tracksession when James had it, back then it was sporting a stripped interia with white cage and some OZ or Comp TH white rims, it is REAL clean inside and out :) James even had it out on track in the wet, did very well until a boost hose blew off. Me and RS1800dom had some tools so help re-fit it with him

one of my Fav Fiesta RS Turbo's, i'll go find the pics

Forgot to mention above, i've just bought and fitted a brand new cambelt cover from Ford.......... yep, still available! :D

It's bang on the right fitment and comes with the rubber gasket already fitted. The downside? £50!! But worth it imo 8)

Should have some new pics soon i hope as i've i've ordered a brand new pair of Fiesta Mk3.5 wing mirrors from Ford (as per what is on the car already) but these are getting colour coded to match the car as i type this........ i'm hoping when i get them back they'll look really smart, and i'll keep the ones that are on the car as a spare although the driver's side one is slightly broken lol

Still available from Ford anyway, about £140 for the pair 8)

Beautiful car. Just the way I like them - standard(ish) on the outside but immaculate and more powerful than Ford intended underneath! :Q

After buying the wing mirrors from Ford, i never got a chance to get a pic of them as i took them straight be sprayed (... but you can imagine what they looked like LOL!). Anyway, went and picked them up tonight and here's the result.............

VERY VERY pleased with the finish, they look awesome and was only charged £30.00, what a bargain............ just hoping the colour match is ok but won't know until i get them alongside the car at the weekend :)

Got the mirrors on today and i'm very very pleased with the result, any worries about the colour match were quickly banished when i held one up against the car! :D

Big thumbsup for my friend Darren for fitting them! 8)
