I personally would also like to have some escort RS cosworth vents, but i suppose that could be a diy job.... 97 Zetec MTX Sport Esslinger UDP; Nology HotWires and BERU Silverstones; Sylvania Silverstars (high beam in low beam) Dual Fiamm air horns Mk1 Mondeo Clear corners(and yes I made them fit....) Boston FS80's in the front Micah's PRE98 SVT front bumper, W/ Mirko splitter(yet to be painted) Rally drivers do it sideways...... Email: Roknut@linkline.com AIM: AphexTwinGrin
