stevmo3691 Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 I'd lose the badges, not sure if its the angle of the photo but the escort badge looks squint. Colour code the number plate surround too. I de-badged my Ghia X and fitted body coloured rear lights (Pepper Red) and it looked nicecheers - thats what i was thinking. escort badge isnt straight - did it in the dark so was going to re-do it anyway. also mines a GTI beater in terms of power *Sighs*i did have most power put of escorts at rolling road and all of us had 1.8 115 engines.

mickygti Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 without sounding funny why didnt you just have the arches done properly in the first place? As bog jobs look tatty.Key to a mint escort is rims,Subtle mods,and very good paintwork.After that maybe more power ie 2litre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
