emu Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 i had a brown Mk1 Fiesta It was great...... Capri boot spoiler cut and shut onto the roof (and made to fit around the obligatory 'beesting' aerial) XR3 Cloverleafs, these used to scrub the arches, but its ok, I folded the lips over with waterpump pliers and left little dents all round the arch Tyres didnt scrub anymore though!! Golf GTi twin tail pipe fitted over the original, and upside down in a kind of Side exit/ DTM style Front plate mounted over to one side And Headlight eyebrows made from gaffa tape To this day, I still dont know why Max Power never featured it
