Escort boy Posted March 5, 2003 Posted March 5, 2003 Hi i wana have my bonnet bad boyed, i can get it done for £50 but at the same time i wanted to get the grill taken out, metal plate put over it, smoothed over and then resprayed. It makes the car look pretty cool IMO the only problem is what happens to the air filter thing that needs the air that usually goes through the grill. Does it have to be repositioned or doesnt it matter. If anyone knows what im talkin about please help
escort_16v Posted March 5, 2003 Posted March 5, 2003 get a cone filter and just attach an air feeder hose from boot grill in bumper to the filter and sorted.
K3V HA Posted March 5, 2003 Posted March 5, 2003 Thats exactly what im doing to my bonnet at the minnute mate, i'm just taking that bit out cos i got an induction kit on so putting the cold air feed into the bit under my number plate.

Escort boy Posted March 12, 2003 Author Posted March 12, 2003 I know someone that lives near me and his dad taught him everything that he knows, hes like a master of automobiles. If anyone is near the ipswich area it would be worth ur while to give him a bell. He was in the back of maxpower either this month or last month with a feature, its a red mk1 escort with a 2.1 pinto engine in it. His names dan leech you guys mustve seen it.
K3V HA Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 i know the one, didnt he used to have a trick mark 4 with cut out bumper and an air filter coming through the side of it. i remember it as i used to have a mark 4 that looked similar but i didnt smooth off my indicators! his work is quality- looks like he makes good roll cages as well!!!
