condition doesnt matter Rob, you'll be wanting them polished anyway, as that's the best way for Mallard Green

Yup Ash Black, few more pics in garage, also had the rare Recaro trim in it.
Much better than the Corsa, it just didnt justify the group 15/16 insurance IMO.
Sold it for 2k and had the option to buy it back for 500, gutted I didnt.

mines a newer one, so has the wingback seats, and the fuel filler flap rather than the plug that aways seems to rust away, doesnt have the turbo opening rear windows though

Yeah the Mk3.5 shell is better by far, fuel filler area was a nightmare. I do like the 'zebra' late seats.
You can pick up pop-outs for not much, have a scan on fiestaturbo.com loads of useful info on there, if you havent already seen it

Nice car mate, shame about them gay mirrors, hope it wasnt a elec mirror model coz they are v-rare and if sum idiot has removed em to fit them then they want shootin,
Mine wasnt a rs1800, it was a 1.1 classic with the xr2i 16v engine, same as rs1800 but 105bhp, mine was played with and got 116bhp 123lbft on the rollers, thats more torque than a rs1800 and really helped as it was the same speed as daves rs1800,
I'd say get the standard mirrors on and also get some cossie rims, they suit em down to the ground,
Also join Fiestaturbo.com and rs1800.com
My old 1...
I day i'll have another...

it was an electric mirror model, as it has the adjuster switch fitted still. hoping the plugs or whatever havent been cut off to fit the gay mirrors, i've gone off the cossie wheels, prefer the mondeo 16s instead. although wouldnt mind some 17" rs7 spokes like those

They take a bit of work to fit,
A little tip from me, they do the mondy 16's in 6.5x16 and 7x16, get the 7x16's, they look king, they are a bit rarer but usually people sell em for the same price coz they dont know, they look so much better, bit more of a dish on em, tyres look better on em to,

Do it, -60mm on them would be king on a proper rs1800 and thats a great price,

Could be, you'd have to have some good shocks to have it drivable, i had a spax psx kit so i could have it on a hard setting, wish mine had PAS, would of made it a lot better to drive, oh well,
