Pete Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 I'm now fed up with waiting for any sort of aftermarket cluster for the mk6. I spent most of yesterday contacting companies either by email or phone trying to find out if any plans are in the pipeline. just waiting for them to get back to me during the week now. Getting to the point where I need some to finish the car off Cant be just me whos finally snapped
sortedford Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 nah i dont care about them pete, cos itll prob be crappy lexus ones they bring out first anyway, and i wouldnt put them on my car cause there gettin a bit old now, and aint to my taste, the red ones dont bother me a bit
McRic Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 can't wait for them to bring out summit but because they know demand will be high I reckon they will be well overpriced to begin with I'll get some once the price has came down cos I'm tight like that
Pelles Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 i just want a set of clear's im happy with the ones i got as they go with my car
simonh1 Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 I had an e-mail from the company I was talking to about said clusters about a week ago............They said that they could not produce a prototype and furthermore did not have the time and rescources to follow the project to a suitable end and would therefore be returning my original samples as they were too busy with current models and future projects. I thought cheers guys, nice to let me know so early, seeing as they have had the original rears since September...... :upyours: :upyours:
JonC Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 I personnaly would like some clear rears,but I dont think theyre going to be coming now, the cars not manufactured in this country any more and this alone makes it less attractive to the car tuning people..... IMO TobyG is making his rear lights look good, hes masked lines into the bottom sections and sprayed thin black lines on the bottom half I also think with the Auto tint spray and a few coats of gloss over the top some really good looking rears can be created that way.... The quad rear lights are MinGin!
Jordan Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 It Pees me off, dont these compnaies know how many Escorts there are about?! Pretty much every Escort modder would want these lights, so if just one company made them then they would make a packet!! Maybe the release of the Haines/Max Pooper Escort manual will spell it out to them? Jordan
Mk6 Si Ross Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 I had an e-mail from the company I was talking to about said clusters about a week ago............They said that they could not produce a prototype and furthermore did not have the time and rescources to follow the project to a suitable end and would therefore be returning my original samples as they were too busy with current models and future projects. I thought cheers guys, nice to let me know so early, seeing as they have had the original rears since September...... :upyours: :upyours: you wanna name n shame em Simon????!!! Wasn`t somebody begining with Q was it???!!!
Rich Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 Pretty much every Escort modder would want these lights, so if just one company made them then they would make a packet!! Which would end up with every modded escort having the same rear lights What are the rules concerning rear lights, to they have to be to a certain standard, or do they just have to be the right colour?
Troy Revill Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 Build some or buy some a build em into your boot. Thats what i am doing with punto have some propper lexis ones fitted at a slant into the boot so it dont look like all these other punto's
theMKVr Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 ive said it before so i may as well say it again clear rear clusters for Ford Escorts 1994 onwards are being tooled and made as we speak. Threy will be fully e marked and have the fog lights as well Patience is a virtue and everything comes to he who waits
sime73 Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 (edited) good business sense to NOT make any rear lights for wat is one of the most popular cars in the uk Edited March 2, 2003 by sime73
Colin Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 Good stuff, i myself can't wait, hopefully by about september time I will have the money, and whilst I wasn't sure about clears, the more I imagine them the better im sure they will be.................... Best of all, if they look pants and other people have bought em, i can save my money!
Twisted Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 clears are awful :madbugger: :madbugger: Lexus look are old and just clears with red blobs behind the glassthis is the best looking way forward IMO
