Depends on what you plan on doing with it. Without a drop and wheels, I'd go for something like the Police or Ambulance styles, the more radical designs like camo or tiger stripe could look odd on a stock height car. I like the RS2900 idea, although it needs to follow the Scorp bodyline though. You'll probably ignore any input from me anyway!

I don't get the 'negative camber is cool' thing... but I can't stand that look RWD Fords with rear trailing arms get when the back wheels have got loads of camber and the fronts haven't - it looks really pony to me. This facelift Scorpio I've been drifting lately with a mate has got huge rear end slam, but the camber is dialled back out again by shimming the rear hubs, because that's how you make it handle properly. PS. the US Police interceptor look for the mk3 wins hands down for me

lowering ideas are being mulled over ;D the project has sort-of stalled at the moment, while i wait for the local motor factors to stock up with bleed nipples and copper washers this side is almost done, the other side needs a bleed nipple then new pipework to the rear calipers, another petrol tank / fuel pump / filter fitting and then it can hit the ground again i have emailed a supplier of vinyl the dimensions of the car and the design (RS stripes) I'm after, and i await his reply ;D
