Welcome to PH Tom

I'm a fan of the Zetec s. But yours is not my cup of tea i'm afraid.

Welcome to PH.

It's a tidy car - you'll find that a minority of people on here will be a bit snobbish at times about motors like that, but ignore it. We all have one thing in common, we love our motors.

V996 (ex Mini 1275GT with fat wheels and a 3 inch exhaust.... in 1987!!)

I knew it wouldnt be to the taste of most members on here but the plan is to keep this untill i have some no claims bonus (dont have any at the moment) and then i will be able to have something with a few more ponies under the bonnet! Idealy an escort cosworth

Without wanting to sound like your Dad, make sure you've declared the modifications to your insurer......

You sound like his Dad HTH

Welcome Tom

Yeah i have. Thats the reason i sold my mk3 fiesta because i was paying £2600 a year thats with everything declared and the engine conversion. After a couple of months of paying that i had to sell it because it was too expensive to insure.

I disagree, it doesn't look boyracer-ish at all. More like something an adolescent strolls up and down the highstreet in a small village or near a junkfood palace with.

I think it shows some promise.........

Goood work fella.

. I agree its not to everyones taste nor mine but we areall petrolheads and thats all that counts.

Front bumper and spoiler are too 'heavy' looking for the rest of the car. It looks unbalanced. Carries it off better in the blue.

cut the bumpers off level with the fogs, they are too large for a shopping trolley. nice colour though (used to have a landy in orange/black).

Welcome to PH Tom!

Thought you're motor might split opinion on here, at least you've admitted as much!

It's looks nice and clean though.
