Great little car!
Do you have the weight of it? I bet it's pretty light with no lights SVA stuff, etc...

Fiesta rear calipers? Is it an easy fit? What are the advantages / disadvantages when compared to the Sierra unit?

As for the looks just one comment: No car - or person - looks good when shot with a wide angle lens as it distorts the proportions. To take a good photo with realistic proportions use a tele and step back a few meters... Portrait photographers ad fashion photographers shoot from a surprising distance, too for the same reason. It compresses the perspective.

err, thanks for the photography tips (I do need them!) but not really in this case, 'cos if I stepped back I would be in my neighbours kitchen!

They'll be some better photos soon, don't worry!

Don't get me wrong Steve, I did not want to criticise your pics at all, I said it as a general comment, but probably phrased it incorrectly. I just wanted to calm the ones who think the car is out of proportion or ugly...
I hope it's not at least, I want a very similar one myself!

You just have to see it in real life, as I said earlier...

I still prefer their traditional nose (which I believe they'll still sell to you) but the new one ain't bad.

Hi

The driver's seat in an Intatrim Endeavour Narrow Version.

I think the wider version may even fit but I ordered the seat at a show before I had the kit.

Unfortunately, I had to let Steve down today and not collect the car. I hitched up the trailer at 3am to head North only to find that I had no lights. An hour and a half of multi-metering followed. It turns out that every bulb had blown! A few dodgy connections were found and the trailer now operates. A bugger for me and a nightmare for Steve - a public thank you is the least I can offer!

Sorry Mr Worx!

P.S. In light of the thread's carefully chosen title, my mood is less than happy!
Bastid trailer.
