Rob84 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 its all good except for the god awful rear lights and the tacky "evolution" badging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortedford Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 i wasnt a fan either of the lights rob had a slight mis hap, and ended up missing one of my standard fogs, so i needed soem lights lol. They go well in the flesh, and i think ill keep them, as they match with the wheel colour quite well, just a shame everyone has them my badges aint tacky there not cheapo ones, there off a EVO 7 i think i need something on the side that says escort evo? cheers for the comments, if its your cup of tea or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Even though I've been a member for well over 3years, Sunday was first time I'd seen this car at a show!! The paintwork is looking really good, no ridge between the burgendy and the blue, either! Wheels suit it, and look surprisingly large for 19s! Is there any chance of having that bonnet back? Either that or maybe you could pay me for it? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansGTI Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Its cool in its own right. Ian, have you considered changing the rear bumper? I think that would sort the rear end out and change the appearance of the car? Considered an ST24 with twin exhaust outlets? Or something? Inset the number plate properly into the bottom of the bumper between the exhausts. Anychance of sending me a square on piccy of the rear and a pic of an ST24 bumper and i'll do a nice bit of photoshopping onto it to give you an idea.

danposs86 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 new wheels are spot on. no kerb marks on them at all for the show too !! now FF is over, please dont put this back in your barn for another 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortedford Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 ralph, your right, i just read my pms i thought wed sorted that. pm me about it mate, get it sorted asap! im quite pleased with the look of the wheels, i was worried theyd look small as the spokes dont continue to the edge of the rim, and thats usually the case on similar styles- thinking wolfrace octanes.im not happy with the little marks i have in the paint, and im thinking of a respray cos of the small scratches, but it shines very well, considering i hadnt polished it, 1 rinse on low power on the hose, 1 on high, 1 wash then one more rinse on low, then chamised by my dad dan, id never put a st rear on it far too common and dont go with anything on the car .im quite happy with the rear, considering it was built specifically for my car, you dont really get a good idea of it from the pics, as it isnt fitted right making the sides not line up.take this pictaken from further out, i reccon it looks ard as nails Gav, least it now hos the power to back the looks up i dont mind you being honest mate, be boring if everyone liked it, itd mean i havent made it personal enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 i've known Ian long enough for him to know it aint my cup of tea, but I will say the wheels looked awesome Same as.............i know Ian realises as do others that know me, i hate big silly bodykits.I certainly admire his efforts as this is what 'Escort evolution' is all about.I've moved on from Escorts a few years back but i love the site! On a plus side the engine spec is impressive and i love the wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
