Love it! Looks especially good in that picture with the light snow cover you've had there. Is the engines condition as good as the rest?

don't facelift it, may look a bit nicer but in a few years time it won't be worth anything, and if its as tidy as you say think of what rs escorts and that make now.

So you didn't use a third party to help you with the buying/importing process? If you did, recommend any companies?

Looking good btw

Winker, you should set-up importing. I've got an RA arriving soon through SVA imports and it's costing me a fair bit more than that
Fancy getting your contact to source me one instead?
