I had a dark blue D plate 1.6L for many years. I loved that car so the pic of yours in original state brought back some memories!
Yours would look a million times better with some less outlandish wheels - some of those OZ slot ones off an Escort Cosworth for example.

Been there done that...

The bonnet vents, spoiler and wing aren't to my taste (to each his own), but otherwise..... I love it. Exactly the sort of thing I would like to do with a Puma in a few years' time.
Bumper and vents are practical, period mods, exactly how Ford would have made an RS OrionSlammedorion said:
