Thanks guys, yea I have a parts list of stuff I want. I did spot it on the bay and it was not that far away from me. Think it needs setting up so need to find somewhere that can do it near to Kent, Whould be nice to see what power it has.

Hi peeps I have got a spoiler for my Fiesta but it's all black so needs a coat of paint. I have seen a few turbos and their spoilers have a black strip on them, So not sure to paint the whole thing or not

i would paint the lower splitter of the front bumper black, the wheels silver again and leave it.

i do like the wheels, there the same ones as i thought about getting when they first came out, although then, as well as now, i would want them in 16's as 17's seem a bit big for the mk3 imo

The RS has taken a back seat over the last month or so, Just sat in the garage under its cover. Hopefully it will be back on the road very soon, Then at the end of October will come back off the road for the winter. I now have a std RS Turbo steering wheel and a set of 16" Mondeo (cossie style) ready to go on

I have put the new alternator on tonight, The one I got from the breaker was no good. Just need to get the it MOT'd at the weekend and then go for a blast. Seems like a long time since I have driven it :)

The Mondeo wheels will be so much better than what's on there :D

Are you going to keep the current bumper or go back to an RS Turbo one?

Yeah, not worth paying silly money for unless it's 100% spot on... You can often pick them up reasonably cheap these days, and chances are you'll find one in Mercury Grey easily enough!
