Gregs Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 ... can't wait to get it back. Having new rear bumper, rear passenger side quarter panel, all the stone ships painted, and a polish. Plus wheels refurbed Should be like a new car when she gets home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Who's doing it for you ? Your Derby too right ? Advanced Autobody on ascot drive or Chartwells on pride park are the most reputable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregs Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Took it to a place just off Ascot Drive called Lee's bodyshop (near Remploy). It's a guy who has just set up in business on his own. He was at Chartwells for a good few years as it happens (but think he got bored with lamborginis lol) and a place called CARS if you've heard of it before that. He worked on our Focus RS - gave it a full hit as the standard paint job was rubbish. Looks amazing now. Hoping the Z comes back just as nice :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregs Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Focus before (having been stripped down): ... during: ... after: ... Clio cup car in for respray (taken before graphics were added but still looking pretty smart): Zed before - with bumper different colour to rest of car: Someone had obviously reversed it into another car too cos my bumper is all bumpy - I don't have any pictures of this though out of shame lol (wasn't me who did it though and it got me a lot of money knocked off the selling price) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Did you ever go up the Paddock on a Sunday night ? There always seemed to be a lot of RS Owners up there for a meet.... I think I prefer that shape RS to the new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregs Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 why does that 200 have a roof scoop? It's a clio cup car - that's how they come. It was in to have graphics done before the race season started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I prefer that shape RS to the new one Yeah we go to the Derbyshire RSOC meets :-) the other half had an escort cosworth before the focus and then an Escort 1600i before that and an Escort XR3i before that. He's a huge ford fan. I agree - I prefer the mk 1 - do like the look of the RS500 they're bringing out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure they dont. A few guys who have 200's cups dont have them. Plus a roof scoop on a clio is pointless it slows you down as there is no air going to the engine.

Gregs Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 why does that 200 have a roof scoop? ok spoke to the owner of the bodyshop my car is in with - seems the roof scoop is to cool the cabin as clio cup cars don't come with fans and they can get pretty hot in there on race days. It's not a performance thing anyway! My car is getting there - will post up picks when she's done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 same as lot of rally cars have them, to save wait things like air con and all the internal venting are removed, but as driving with the window down isn't possible they use the roof scoops to divert air straight into the cabin. middle of summer, fire proofs, overals, helmet and no circulating air, hmmmmmmmmmm that sounds fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
