Love the yellow lights in that one!
And fitted my splitter today, no pics because it looks like the other pics, but without the trainer.

Re: Ratspeeds Mk1 plantpot plus
Well not a massive update, again ive bought something that im not sure i like and will put it on ebay!
I bought a bullet mirror from fordfair and after i fitted it im not sure i like it or not,might look good satin black though
What do you guys reckon?
Also got me a coool ford badge, so i put it on the grill to make it look american grill stylee. i love it
And got these of Ash (rsonblackwheels) and shall probably have them painted in a dark silver/grey
for some reason they look massive in the pics, but they arent

I'm not going to strech your arse
................I didnt mean stretch as in "euro stretch". Just as in "fitted to"!
195's on a 6j are hardly gonna be "stretched" are they?

Re: Ratspeeds Mk1 plantpot plus
looking mint dude wish mine was that mint!!
how much do you want for the mirror if you havent already sold it?
also how did you fit the splitter in the end? i had the deep chin one on mine but it got ripped off going round a roundabout
ive trimmed it down now and looking for a better way to fit.

I sold the mirror the day after i fitted it mate!
To fit the splitter, i tapped a 6mm bolt into the gearbox cradleto hold it up, then made 2 small spacers to keep the ends at the right level and screwed each end through the spacer into the crossmember
And just for jay, some more pics using my new fone
and how the wheel sits with the arch
that is all

Re: Ratspeeds Mk1 plantpot plus
Yeah, know what you mean. I'm not usually a big black wheel fan, but these seem to look right. I think the black bumpers, mirror and stripes help.
I took them on my new LG pop. I'm not really into fones but i needed a new one and tesco had these at 70 quid. Plus its white and green so it matches the escort bus!
And jony, its staying as it is........
apart from maybe a bit lower.............and a rear supersport boot stripe...................and maybe a xr/ss spoiler.............xr2 brakes
