My Escort GTi

Well, a few people have asked me for pics of the front bumper as I've never actually posted any as it's been pretty much shoved away until now.

 

I love this thing, the Evotech could quite easily be standard Ford it suits so well, just with that little bit extra. That's important as the rear bumper and skirts are based on genuine Ford and the lines flow perfectly, so this had to be just right too.

 

For those who don't know it's an Evotech with the endpieces of a Laguna splitter moulded in, and extended on the sides to flow from the front arches. It really is art!

 

Would love to have some kind of carbon fibre splitter made for the bottom. Would have to custom-make a mould from scratch though as nothing out there even comes close to fitting!

PS. Excuse the gash mesh, it's just there for trial purposes, something much better will take its place ultimately!

Do they not make them any more? :(

 

I was looking at it yesterday and thinking of getting an identical spare one made up I love it that much, lol!

 

Yeah, as said, I bought a new Evotech via EVO. I sold the damaged one to 85rob though, and he did repair it (back to standard, minus the splitter additions)

 

And yes, the plan is ST200 mesh, as before, but this time refinished in black. EVERYTHING sliver on the car is going. Blue/Black/Carbon only from now on
