i agree with gad.. you need to drive it into something and pick up a few scuffs.

not a proper beater. my missus has not cleaned her car in just over 3 years.

i just wish she was that dirty in bed <ho ho ho>

No Dan, you only get 4 wheel trims with the Popular Plus version


It looks smart, nevertheless. One of Ford's best ever styling efforts.

Trust me, the car has more dents the the photos show. The back bumper has a split in it where I used it to ensure I was close to the wall for years when parking in liverpool, also as I park every day in hospital car park's it has 100's of door dents in the doors (the rubbing with the claybar actually massaged some of these out !)

Its also got a funny dent above the passenger rear door, not sure how that one happened.



The car is also coming up towards 100k now, and does get a beating and used for anything.



It might not be totally banged up, always get serviced by Ford, has quality tyres on it, no expence spared on maintainance up but its a beater all right

She's a beaut. Perhaps this can become a Beater Detailing Thread? Ask me a question about detailing your beater?
I'd prefer a thread about beating your detailer

That's a scoop of the VW Up!

Like Iroc became the Scirocco, Up is abbreviated too; from Fueck Up.
