Looks much more civil in white rather than that horrendous ASBO green the chavs go for :lol:

aye Ferg, them were the days my ass :) , this new RS is nothing like my old 3-Door or Saff. I have given the car a serious Tar n Glue and clay session, moving on to some polishing work this week ( i said i would wait a few weeks, but i should have known better :roll: ) . Wheels off and away for a custom paint job and calipers painted gloss black today too. Will post a few pics - strictly NLC !

I had as much reason to dislike those days as most as you know. :lol:
So you think it's an equal or better to the 3Door?! Thats quite some praise.. :thumbsup

hate to say it but prefer the wheels in silver - and gloss black would maybe look better to match the other black bits - but epic car none the less :thumbsup
