JC Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 you could get the mileage altered electronically at a garage if it bothered you Its never bothered me only thing when i come to sell the car, but the change in dials was documented. After a little "incident" down london got nice new rubber on the back, very grippy! Had my viper fitted: undecided whether to remove the mark left on my car or not??? Any thoughts people?

JC Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Thought of going for the de-seated look, but decided against it few pics of latest interior, decided to keep it in the end. Pics make it look a funny colour and a little more worn than it is, but ain't the case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave C Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 looking good,, but that handbrake looks a wonky angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Yup def more comfy, more figure hugging! looking good,, but that handbrake looks a wonky angle Matey its a late model finesse the handbrake is a different shape to the early mk6, so is at the right angle Think will leave the stickers on, though they were cheeky putting their advertising on rather then the proper viper one!

JC Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Thought i'd add some pics while i'm "relaxing" Took my bumper off a few wks back, was a little grubby! (using auto glym bodywork shampoo, super resin polish and gloss protection) http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC00403.jpg cleaned the back whilst my bumper was off: http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC00405.jpg Had my lights out to seal them in properly as were giving a slight leak so cleaned around them to: http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC00410.jpg Got some genuine spats off ebay, £20 posted (some one here laughed at moi when i offered him £20!) http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC00407.jpg Took the bumper off and attached the spats with it off http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC00404.jpg was alot easier to do this with the bumper off. Used Tiger seal and a single bolt on the inside then the genuine clips underneath. (Thanks for your advice Rob! (bluliz) ). Using Genuine spats the fit wasnt as amazing as i thought it was as i think my bumper was a fraction warped on the bottom! clipped them on whilst the sealant dried and let them over night: http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC00409.jpg They look nice when fitted: http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC00414.jpg Added some new mudflaps, as the genuine ford ones i had no longer fit, they were cheap and i liked the colour! ( thanks Chris!) http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC00458.jpg How a clean bumper looks! http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC00411.jpg Will get round to doing another update v soon i hope!

Hezz Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 looking good there jc, not so keen on the chavvy flaps though did the spats come silver or did ya paint them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Thanks. They were cheap! and do the job I was lucky enough to find a set in silver, ( £20 iff ebay) as my painting of metalic paints isnt brilliant! http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC00455.jpg http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/lordjc1983/Silver%20Escort/DSC00454.jpg really need skirts sorting!
