bouver 0 Posted April 14, 2012 Hi Simon from Chesterfield here. I have owned my Dimma CTI for around 6 years now, and I am looking for some inspiration/help on moving it forward. I believe it is genuine due to the quality of the kit, also the embroided leather seats are a good clue. Anyway, I am keeping it period with the original 8v engine, although I think it has been changed to the 1.9 at some point despite it being on the log book as a 1.6 I have spent loads on parts, mohair roof, coilovers, and a respray a few years ago but now I want to do a more thorough job. Is Henry Yorke still active on here? It is years since I have been on this forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slo 283 1 Cars Posted April 14, 2012 Just the right time to post these pics as im considering dimma'ing my cti and was wondering what it would look like without the roof parts. Looks very nice that im impressed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henry Yorke 269 3 Cars Posted April 14, 2012 I'm still here! All CTIs will have been 1.6 on the log book as I think people had stopped Dimmaing them by the time the 1.9's came out. I'm pretty sure there were no "factory" ones. Was yours always black? Also have you any pics of the seats. Get the roof whacked on it and just enjoy it!

Henry Yorke 269 3 Cars Posted April 15, 2012 I'll give you a call at some point Simon when I'm out and about in mine and take you for a spin to inspire you to get it finished. Can't beat a sunny day with the roof off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerry 5 Posted September 26, 2012 I remember back in 1992 a j reg factory (in red) 205 cti dimma I still have the auto trader in the uk that stated the price of 10999 Once I get back I will take a picture of the autotrader and upload it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiniGibbo 142 Posted September 26, 2012 Never liked cti's but theyre really growing on me lately.. defiantly needs more pictures and a spec list though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vtifan 26 Posted September 27, 2012 the cti and the dimma kit were made for eachother imho,you cannae beat a wide looking posey ragtop,wish my mate would get his finger out and get his rieger gt40 mk4 escort done but not holding my breath though as i put an rs turbo motor in it 8 years ago and has never moved since because he's too busy puffin de erb,shame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerry 5 Posted September 28, 2012 Is it the yellow one?? I remember that fron yesterday year in max power lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vtifan 26 Posted September 28, 2012 Is it the yellow one?? I remember that fron yesterday year in max power lol no he has the kit sitting but has never got around to fitting it lol the yellow one might have made a comeback but its now focus rs green as there was one in a mag last month,total lack of motivation for him due to substance abuse lol,he also has a mint r5 gt turbo raider sitting in his mums garage that he bought in 1997 and got a bottom end rattle on the way home,he had a wee burst of enthusiasm about 10 years ago and fitted an engine and a few bits but when he realised his wheels wouldnt fit with the coilovers he just gave up and has sat since,would never sell it though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
