Default My Mk5 Escort 5door Euro Project

got her like this for my 16th birthday...

i am 17 now at full time college and just started my driving lessons





Then as soon as it got through its mot the modding began
Started off with an RS Splitter and smoothed grill


Then the cossie lower spoiler came


Rs2000 lights , clear rears and rs2k rear bumper then fitted



Then i got bored of the rs splitter and got an rs2000 bumper ... needed work though


Then got the spoiler rattle canned and the first coat on the bumper



Then i slammed her -75mm on the rear , added the spoiler and smoothed bout the bootlock and de'dented bootlid


Then the front bumper was ready and put on, lipped rolled and new wheels , and my lil rear light mod :P



img]http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/13508.jpg[/img]




Then i got some eurostyle inspiration and the smoothing began









when shes finished should be looking like this...with banded 15x8 steels


Thats it for now

Let me know what your opinions and ideas
Tom
