Forest Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 It's the RS Accessory kit. I've been told it was a factory fitted optional extra. Very rare kits now. Bumpers, skirts, spoiler and grill. Looks the part ay!? Not sure if the skirts would fit a 5dr TBH yea lol does look the part if its rare then it probley wont be cheap to get hold of , thought it would make a change from spats and gti skirts , not into kits, like the factory look on an escort.

TC-DNB Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Sun was out today so went topless after work Quick clean and few pictures...enjoy. Lately been thinking about some 'subtle' decals - yes or no? Opinions welcome. And i don't mean F&F style, more a simple stripe or small chequered flag etc http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj208/TC-DNB/IMG_1741.jpg http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj208/TC-DNB/IMG_1743.jpg http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj208/TC-DNB/IMG_1738.jpg http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj208/TC-DNB/IMG_1742.jpg http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj208/TC-DNB/IMG_1745.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzetec Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Looking nice mate, I would vote no to any decals. I know its tempting but think less is often more You thought of doing the lower grill and trumpets in black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Looking good, I would stay off decals IMO - but I guess depends what you are thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC-DNB Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Looking nice mate, I would vote no to any decals. I know its tempting but think less is often more You thought of doing the lower grill and trumpets in black? As it goes...yes. The lower grill is temporary - just whacked it in as lost the other one after hitting that rabbit. I was thinking black grill with green trumpets Undecided on decals. I've only thought it has seen a few new motors with simple decals and I quite like it. Looking good, I would stay off decals IMO - but I guess depends what you are thinking? Nothing big or in your face. Just something small and simple i.e couple of black pin stripes down side, or small racing flag infront of rear wheel on side. Seen a ford racing decal on eBay that may work. very nice cabby, I really like the style and wheels Thanks fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your style caled But, doing Astra GSi vents to be different. Cossie bib would be lovely, but not right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC-DNB Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 As FITP is coming up I thought I'd tart up my engine bay! My mate and I fitted my decat exhaust yesterday and he randomly had a can of VW Dragon Green paint. I've painted the strut brace, cam belt cover, exhaust heat shield and the metal bar keeping my induction kit nice and rigid. It's not a perfect match and it could have done with another coat but a/ I run out and b/ I'm skint until payday haha. However, it does look good and much better than boring black. Pictures to follow when I get to a computer with Internet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee grout Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Look forward to the engine bay piccies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC-DNB Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 As promised... http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj208/TC-DNB/IMG_1069.jpg http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj208/TC-DNB/IMG_1067.jpg http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj208/TC-DNB/IMG_1068.jpg It definately needs another coat, so this weekend it will all be off again and sprayed with the juice green, so it's ready for FITP. You can't tell from these pics but the underside of the strut brace is still in primer Can't wait to get a perfect finish to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee grout Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I like that Doesnt matter if its not 100% colour match cos of where it is but it looks pretty damn good. Maybe if you got time spray the header tank and brake reservoir to suit, maybe same colour as rocker cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC-DNB Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Engine bay parts now been re-sprayed Juice Green to match, and all lacquered up to give a nice finish. Also sprayed my front tow eye cover to match bumper. Pretty pleased with my first bit of DIY spraying Pics to follow shortly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
