    Focustiva: Because I was told it was was impossible to fit a Focus bumper on a Festiva.

      With some round headlights, BMW 4 X 100mm 13" alloy wheels, and nice looking buckets inside (get rid of the backseat and install nice carpeting), you might be able to pull this off!

      Good Aspire brakes and a B6 or BP engine with 5 speed would then provide the appropriate performance to completely convince people.

        Did you read that story ?

        He actually did fool the salesman at a BMW dealership , they said where did you get that , I know they have those in Europe , but not here in the US. ..LOL

        Anyone remember that Festiva that was for sale that had a BMW front end that was cut down to fit the Festiva ?

                    Looks ridiclous if you ask me! Have never been a fan of cars trying to imitate another make/model.

                            thats pretty cool, I've thought of making a Bronco II into a mini excursion once, but I didn't have any money for an engine. I wanted to go all out and put one of the V-8's or the V-10 in it, but it was way too much money, cool car though.
