I was thinking this was a wind up myself by someone who knows how you guys would react to the query. However, just did the author search on betty02 who has raised 7 threads to date on the website and all relate to FFRR mods. So reckon it's a genuine query. I'd just get the right colour car & colour interior in the first place though if it were me.  Steve

Wow - tough crowd here. Go easy on the kid. None of you had stupid automotive ideas when you were younger? Actually, when reading through the posts here I know that must've been the case - because there are some rather silly ideas floating from well aged sources.

Simon, while not exactly polite, you've received your answer. Aside from everything else, RR's are expensive. So are parts. Even if your source is Midnight Auto Supply it won't be worth it - RRS pieces are not plug&play in a RR and you'll devalue the RR to a very large extent. As hoppy said, you can have the interior recolored if necessary - but I'd just do as most have said and look a while longer.


Gaz: please wipe the foam from the corners of your mouth, have a glass of warm milk, sit down and try to relax. I'm sure your hands will stop trembling soon.

Is Betty02 a relative of V8 Andy

This has got to be a wind up.

From Twingo to FFRR! Wouldnt a 21 year old Twingo owner aspire to a RRS with 22s or RS Focus / Mitsubishi EVO etc..?

Probably still too expensive. The rrs is still twice the price of the full fat used.

It's true we were all young once (albeit a looong time ago for some of us). I for one certainly stuck some really tacky to some even tackier cars.

Once, I even put a 'turbo' badge on my 1.1 fiat UNO The shame! It definitely felt faster after that though......

I'm pretty sure that each and every one of you have done some shameful things to cars when you were young, CONFESS and the truth shall set you free

I'm still doing it to FF's ........

Confess your worst sin brother mick

Cause too much of a shock .........

I am in deep shock Even deeper shock that you 'fessed up to it.
For my sins my highlight was a Ford Sierra 4x4 spoiler onto the back of a Sierra Ghia.

I dropped a 2.8 V6 engine from a Granada into my Sierra 1.6l... with a big bore exhaust.

Wow, it went like the clappers.
But did about 12mpg with a carb.

Not so long ago I slid a 4.2 Jag XK lump and auto box in to my Series IIa... still quite proud of that one

Some details on my web site if you've been tempted http://www.zen79997.zen.co.uk/index.htm

My first car was a V6 Capri. I had a summer job working as a gopher for the local Porsche dealership and one day - lo and behold - there was a pair of 14" alloy 924 wheels with like 195/65's in the dumpster (why, I do not know to this day. They became mine). As the much larger than original (puny something or other 13") tires rubbed, I ran down to the local auto supply store and purchased a 'shackle kit'. A shackle kit extends the rear leaf spring mount downwards and gives the car quite the 'jacked-up dragster' stance. I drove around with big Porsche alloys on the back and tiny stamped steel Capri wheels on the front for a good year or 2 - and thought I was pretty cool. I was 16 at the time - but every now and then I still do silly things to my cars. Only now they're tasteful silly things.

Like the SII, BTW, elpeede.
