for me thats a ruined fiesta and a waste of money, but credit due if you've done the work yourself and your pleased with it. i saw one in crash the other day, was sort of a rally style looked good, well from one side anyway.

About Ԛ£500-600, not alot as it's only a 316i :?
You can pick up a decent 325iSE for Ԛ£1000

316i value is VERY dependant on mileage and condition. I sold a 316i with 76000 on it for Ԛ£1300 at the weekend. However if you do anything to it like you have done to that poor fiesta (i.e lexus lights...) it will be worth Ԛ£50. If you want to do this buy a E36....

Any true modder knows that you can never build a car to please everyone. The trick is to build something that whilst it may not be to everyones cuppa, people look at the car and they can appreciate the time and effort not to mention the money that's gone into it and i thing you've achieved that dude. Besides klike i always say. As long as it's my hard earned money i'm spending, then everything gets done the way i like it. If someone dont like it, well it's tuff s@it :D

Welcome to the Zone by the way :wink:

I used to have a XR2, it was a great wee car, a go-kart! Loads of fun.
Did you do a lot of the work yourself? It looks like more than Ԛ£4.5K.
Personally I do cars for 'go' not 'show' but she looks good. :D

The 316i looks good too (though white ain't my cup of tea, gets too dirty too quickly), have fun with her (even with only 100BHP RWD is more fun that FWD :mad: )

Welcome.
'89 325i - was an SE but not anymore, was bronze-beige metallic (yeuch!) but now techno-violet (thankfully)
'89 Toyota Corolla GTi-16 - track, hillclimb & sprint car (yeeha!)
'08 Buell XB12Ss - American engineering at it's 'best'... good fun though

The Fiesta looks the nuts - don't care what car it is as you can tell she's been well looked after and cared for - top marks.

Now it's time for the BM??

Pics when you've got them mate and welcome to the Zone.

welcome mate :D

that fiesta is cool

its not my scene but you know that will turn heads.

at least its a tastefully modded car and not the old washer jet lights,
neons, go-go gadget wings stuck on the hatch etc.

i think i may have seen this at modified nationals if you took it there :D

as for the bm i may have the exhaust for you if you havent already got one. its in very good condition too

pm if interested :wink:

Iv been had by a fiesta and several 205's on track days when iv been in my road M3, i dont make excusses, they were either better drivers than me, pushing them harder, or the cars were just crazy fast.

Track days arent just about how fast you go IMO, they are about learning to drive the car better and improving your skills
