Spotted in Newcastle down the central motorway towards Cowgate roundabout, a white bluemotion 1.6 105bhp tdi with Golf R conversion (Plate T55 ....) tailgating me.

Anyone here?

A 1.6 masquerading as an R? Can't have been a convincing 'conversion' then.

Aye could tell straight away. Still had the standard wheels, the LED DRL's weren't connected and it had halogen headlamps haha. Had to check up on the MyCarCheck app to see which model it was

When you're going to do a replica you've got to go full hog! There's always people with the fine tooth comb out there!

You don't see many replicas these days. Back in the 80's and 90's, Auto trader was full of XR3i's dressed up as RS Turbos and XR4i's dressed up as Cosworths.

Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Busted! did a Fiesta mk1 as an XR2 and a Escort mk1 as a 1300 sport with the  flaired mexico wings and quarter bumpers. Boy you needed the fine tooth comb for the Escort. The Fiesta was a different story though :smiley: you needed to be in a real hurry not to spot the difference!

Actually seen a couple of replica cars around Newcastle, ford focus RS conversion and an Audi RS5 comversion. They actually look pretty convincing until you realise they sound like a diesel. But I can't really talk, I drive a GTD with GTI exhaust tips/diffuser!
