There are no pics in the album. Either its a wind up or you have been silly and someones deleated ur pics!

 

oK, just found them!

 

Change the orange side reps I think first.

Front end looks good, rear would if you smoothed the line out of the RS bumper (nice find btw) and changed the rear lights, not a fan of those ones. Nice effort though

not critizising so please dont take offense but everything youve done and or are gonna do is more or less a pointless endevear until you move away from bolting on anything more and spend a bit of time on what the car has already, in this case Im referring to the overall condition of your paintwork visable on the photos, again I stress Im not critizing but until you sort the basic appearance of the car anything you add to it will just appear shabby and slapped on.

 

do a quick search for what many on here would recomend as bodywork and paint work treatment(theres tons of suggestions and advice), polishing, waxing etc etc....do what you can to improve the original paintwork and itll compliment anything you add to the car afterwards, as it stand the mods youve added are sorely let down by the motors paintwork.

 

oh....and ello welcome to evo \o

[karl]

think it could just do with a good wash and polish... bit like mine, lol

[bongo]

as said above,spend a few hours cleaning the paint and polishing it,it will look ten times better.

[makaveli]

im liking the rs accessory bumper!

[MarkyMark]

Are you using the inner morrette lamp as indicators?? if so please get some silver bulbs

A good shine on a motor is a must, makes it look so much better.

[JC]

Not keen on the wing mirrors, needs the nudge strips colout coding IMHO.

 

But some tasteful mods there, like the chrome

[TommyT]

Not a fan of the chrome. RS grill would suit better. Oh and colour code the bump strips.

 

Where you get the Rear strut from(and how much)?

dont mean to p1ss on your parade but you have swapped horrible back lights for ones just as bad ,chrome lights on an escort look terrible ,the only good aftermarket rear lights are the smoked version of what you have now,your sunstrips cheapen the look of your car too as totally the wrong colour,aprt from those negative points the car looks ok Edited March 7, 2008 by 1pukkadeal

[shawdreamer]

erm.....i think you'll find the reason people mentioned they didnt like the rear lights was because there the rather cheap and nasty lexus type ones......... not cos they were a "different" version of the cheap and nasty lexus type ones.

 

but hey ho its your car
