Mike C Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) IMO, your starting point shud be..... de-badge and de-strip it etc get EVO stickers and screentop Get smoked or clear side repeaters get either some Mondeo Zetec 16s on there or some nice 17s, lower it 35/40mm get a K&N clean it all up (I mean really clean it properly, take off wheels and everything to get to all the hidden places) then upgrade to a full exhaust system then start worrying about kit and lights etc that'll get u an ultra-smart car, then take it as far as u want to go in your own time Edited April 22, 2005 by Mike C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My previous escort i bought already had the bump strips removed but after having it a week i soon noticed what a bodge job they had done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackster Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I believe the bump strips are no longer on Mikes car. If i decide to sell the car will probably be up for sale in the 1k region, mods and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

85rob Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) imo first thing i would do is give it a good clean inside and out. spend the day polishing/ waxxing hovering the inside and dont forget to clean the windows inside aswell and as a bonus you might even end up with biceps like arnie. even if you plan on buying jacksters its still worth doin Edited April 22, 2005 by 85rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
