EsCoRt-Mk5.5 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 hello people i have just bought a 1995 ford escort mk5.5 and was woundering if any of you have a link to a site with some mk5.5 escorts on that have got bodykits and stuff on. i am also new to modifying and was woundering if anyone had any ideas that i could do on a low budget for the moment until i pass my test thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Si Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 the best thing is to do wat i did, buy little things like lockwood dials, handbrake handle, gearknob, gaiters, these are bout £25 - £35 each so it wont break the bank.Soz dont know any websites for your caralso welcome m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Si Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 is your test your first or second time, 18's im sure will need some arch work, 17's mite go on with arch mods but also depends on how much youve/want to lower it hope this help m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sortedford Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 18s will require archs rolling if you plan on letting anyone in the car 17s can be had with 40mm lowering (the norm) with no probs, just get 205 tyres, not 215!most stuff you see wil fit the car you have (Mk6 rear end stuff) and 5 front stuff. the sides are the same.and welcome to the site mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EsCoRt-Mk5.5 Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 thanks mate, just looking at your car in the cars section and its very nice! are your rear lights tinted all red? i have seen a few escorts with this and was just woundering how its done? is it a spray and would you have to have the bulbs in the lights changed? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortedford Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 no, my lights are just the normall ones mate, you can get your lights tinted red, or any other colour, the cans to do it yourself come in red, black, blue and green, i think if your gonna get it done though its best to get a bodyshop to tint them.It does help to put higher powered bulbs in, otherwise you might not pass the mot.
