right - just been doing loads of parts hunting recently - found another boot carpet and turret carpet, both for a tenner, as I have a small rust spot at the rear wiper, which has been letting in water and made my carpets go a bit manky! when the weathers better, gonna sort the rust out (pics will be posted) and then I'll be able to put in fresh clean carpets :).

 

Due to poor laquer (simonez) the front grill I did went a bit cracked - see pics above. Got myself a new grill and some new mesh, gonna take the black plastic out of the holes to open the up a bit and redo using 2K paint and laquer. when the weathers warmer this time! been taking some advice of a good friend who's a painter. He know I get a good finish but just giving me some advise with workin with 2k paints.

 

From the good people at DMB Graphics I also have found the holey grail:

Black with red ford logo :D All those that have sat down to scrape the blue out of the back of the badge, no longer, easy apply 3M backed decals bubble stickers which fit directly onto the badge. (these guys do have parts listedon ebay but if you go to their website, they have loads directly for the Mk6 Escort.

 

As soon as the 2k primer and laquer turns up, I'll be cracking on with everything.

 

Hey mate did these fit, i ordered some (right fitment etc) but the front one was to big and the back one was to small

Sorry, haven't fitted yet, gonna do some modding to the grill first and then get painted, so it shouldn't matter to mine as gonna paint over orig badge. Have just offered them up and your right, the front does look a little big - thats a shitter!!

 

if u want u can bring the escort down to me one saturday n well get the brakes and bodykit on if u want

:) cheers for the offer dude. Still haven't got roun to painting the skirts and spats yet. gonna save and get bodyshop to paint with propper hard core paint but they want £300 for all the little bits I want doing - skirts, spats, boot trim, front grill and 2 wing mirrors. I know thats a bit ouch but I've seen their work before and it's the muts nuts - def worth saving for. Just got over xmas, anniversary, valentines day and kids birthday, gonna start saving like mad now to get it done.

 

Still no pads and discs yet for the brakes - same as above dude. depressing I know but I'll get there and if I need some help, I'll give you a shout :cheers: :thumb:
