Not bad, what wheels are you gonna put on?

Troy Revill · 27 May 2002, 09:03 (Ref:297236)

I am saving up for some TSW Venom or some BK racing one not sure yet probble around about size 16" 17" not sure yet but it will look a lot better then just having normal hubs on

^_^

I have blue rear lights and blue oval side repeaters on my white Fiesta XR2i 16v. Those wiper neons look cool

1) Why not orange repeaters - they'd probably go better with the paintwork.
2) If I were you, unless your car's garaged, I'd be careful about having that many speakers on open display in the parcel shelf - you might as well write "nick me" on the car otherwise.

woodyracing · 27 May 2002, 10:40 (Ref:297307)

orange repeaters are standard yuk, they should at least be clear ones.

some ****** nicked my blue side repeaters though, I couldn't believe it!

Troy Revill · 27 May 2002, 10:43 (Ref:297310)

The blue looks better on the car trust me lol if you saw it in person you would see how much it makes it stand out because the two colours blend together ^_^.

And the spakers and being hidden they are just there for a little while because I am working on boot space at the mo!

I will add some pics of my gear knob and gator and peddles as I am going for a yellow look on the inside!

You people make think that they look like "RICE"

yes i do!

but it good

just needs some performance!

Why bother spending all that money on a 1.3, it looks silly and people just laugh at you. No Doubt you hang around Macdonalds in it, smoking Lambert and Butler and drink Woodpecker! It just gives you the bad name 'KEV' or 'TOWNIE'
By the time you tell the insurance company what you have done (assuming you do) the cost would have been the same as owning a proper performance car. Oh and Venoms are very 1999.

woodyracing · 27 May 2002, 14:41 (Ref:297566)

I prefer TSW Imola (touring car style) and they wont really go out of fashion.

<me> "Mr.Insurance man, my XR2i is standard (honest)"

No need to be uncharitable there Spinner old chap. Young Troy is obviously proud and enthusiastic about his new wheels. If he has fun modifying it, then good on him. That it couldn't overtake a milkfloat is neither here nor then.
