Hi

Was looking on tint .... have a look at this.

Look at the Fiesta Conversion on there. I bet the Fiesta RS would have looked like this!

We've had many, many conversations regarding this topic.

That is the Pumaspeed WRC bodykit just sprayed Imperial Blue.

The Fiesta looked like this:






Which is 100x better looking... I tried to order one, but they canned it

Hi Jonno... This is the Pumaspeed Fiesta (actually a 1.4) on which they demoed the JWRC kit. The JWRC kit looks similar to the Fiesta RS presentation car but only from a distance. Up close there are many differences.

Definitely Nick... but the Concept was developed from the JWRC Fiesta but i still like the Concept better.

Why?

It's a lot more refined, smooth edges, very stylish and if you seen that car on the road you'd get out the way, or see it go past

The JWRC Body kit onto a road going Fez just looks like your trying to build a Lego Fiesta... nothing fits, matches or flows. All O.T.T and well out of proportion.

The arches are too high for a start, looks fat and cumbersome!

*sobs quietly into a hanky* .... do you have to post those pics?

oh how i want that car

that be good if Ford could sale the bodykit of the RS concept for the ST, don't no my there not doing it otherwise whats the point of showing an RS version if they never going to produce it!

Fiesta RS would have been amazing.
Like scotty had my name down for one untill it got scrapped even them seats are nice. Don't know if it is me or not but the arches on the RS concept dont stick out as much as pumabuilds one agree with babyboom why cant ford bring the kit out or even better the car what a beast it would have been

Aye its a shame they didnt build the RS. Have seen pictures of it before. Why did they decide not to build it? Too expensive or not enough interest?

I think the official reason was just a short "the figures didn't add up". In reality you hear lots of rumours, one being that it might have taken too sales away from the Fiesta ST at one end and the Focus ST at the other. IMO given the large amount of people wanting both they wouldn't have strugled selling either!

And also there were many people who wanted the it would have sold no probs even at 15/16k. Like many people on here, I wanted one SOOOOOO badly. Damn Ford for not bringing it out!!

funny thing is i remember back in 1991 (i think or 1990)i bought a new h reg
xr2i (black)but before i bought it i test drove the rs turbo (fiesta)fantastic
car,thing was though at that time were doing 12 months free insurance
on the xr2i (but not the rs turbo for obvious reasons) for anyone over 21
i took up the offer on the free insurance for 1 year.saying that i wish now
i should of got the rs turbo instead.
iceman.

p.s. do any of you guys (in your 40s)remember the advert on the big hoadings
for the fiesta xr2 and rs turbo i think it got banned because it promoted
allegedly boy racers,the advert read,"fiesta xr2i madras rs turbo vindaloo". the good old days of the late 80s and early 90s.

HOW HOT DO YOU LIKE YOURS!!madras or vindaloo remember it well i also bought an 'h'plate XR2i and kept saying wish i bought the RS Turbo version.

Whislt the RS looked stunning, if you're going to spend 15-16k, you may aswell spend a little more and go for the Focus ST i think. I suppose that was Ford's reckoning too, which is why they canned it.
