Hi all.

 

My names Rob, and im new to the forum today. I've just purchased also today a MK6? (09/1999) Escort Finesse estate, TDDI. Going to be spending the next few days cleaning it up, and giving it a good polish. But im already looking at changing a few parts over on the car. One is the interior, which is fine, but was wondering if the 1/2 leather interior from a Escort GTI (5 door) will fit straight in. My concern is if the rear bench is different between the estate and saloon?

 

Anyway, any help/info would be much appreciated. And im sure I will have planty of other questions to ask in the next few days :)

 

Regards,

Rob.

straight swap :thumb:
As Kev said - defo fit straight in, if you get 1 out of a 5 door, the door panels will also fit - 100%

Thats great news guys :) . There is someone local to me breaking one, and yes the GTi is a 5 door.

 

Also whille im asking questions. Is it possible to change the manual door mirrors to electric ones. Thats the only non electric item on the car. I can live with manual mirrors, but if its easy enought to change them over I may as well. Will the loom inside the doors have the connectors to plug the electric mirrors into. Or do Fords put different looms into the cars when the spec of the car was built in the factory?

it MIGHT have the plug already there fella, take the door card off and have a look for the plug, there the same across the entire escort range :thumb: but if the plug is there is as simple as plug, replace and play :thumb:

Be nice and simple if the wirring is already in the door. Will check when I find a nice GTi interior to fit into the Estate.
