550bhp+ 2.5 Turbo 4x4 Escort Latest Update: RAYS TE37 - Page 3

Mike C · 18-01-2006, 08:43 PM

dunno, just love that colour and it was a spur of the moment thing

never liked red cars at all, just this one happened to look good in red, so fancied a change to blue, which I like best

'Kin Hell!

Will still look class!

tank1987 · 21-01-2006, 06:53 PM

looks stunning mate top job keep up the good work

cosmagedon · 23-01-2006, 06:15 PM

Looking good matey, we need more pics tho

Can i just ask, how much was the kit, as i have just aquired a maxi front bumper and just wondering how much it would cost for the arches and skirts.

cheers

Mike C · 23-01-2006, 07:58 PM

depends on exactly what you want. just for the arches, you're talking about £1800-£2000 to get them made to order and sent over probably. Shipping alone was over £350, lol

I paid a bit more for mine as they're slightly different, the rears especially

Benni · 23-01-2006, 09:14 PM

Looking good mike

I would keep those wheels aswel, They suit it

GazzaG · 23-01-2006, 11:33 PM

Agreed

Mike C · 24-01-2006, 04:22 PM

I'm getting the same but in 19"

wouldn't swap 'em for the world only 18" is just a bit too small

Paul_RS · 24-01-2006, 09:49 PM

Just my opinion, but i think you'll need rally slags rims to pull this off, not convinced that those wheels will suit the car when its done.

Mike C · 24-01-2006, 10:12 PM

it's far from any sort of rally style car though

the arches may be derived from a rally car, but if all goes to plan, there will be very little resemblance to a proper Maxi F2 car

stuball · 02-02-2006, 05:02 PM

Any new pics Mike?
Must be near finished for the bodywork by now!?

Mike C · 02-02-2006, 05:30 PM

new pics soon, bodywork will be finished next month sometime

Mike C · 02-02-2006, 06:54 PM

in fact, pics will be here 2moro, may not be up until next week tho as I got a busy weekend on the cards with the other car, and this should be getting picked up in 3 weeks

James-W · 02-02-2006, 07:03 PM

Posts some pics.

No offence but those rims will looks shit in my opinion so dont do it. But thats just my opinion and its your car.

danposs86 · 03-02-2006, 01:00 AM

oooo he aint going to like u saying that about his wheels

lol

Mike C · 03-02-2006, 11:01 PM

not bothered, rims were decided a long itme ago, nothing will change my mind

Zanderford · 04-02-2006, 01:40 AM

what like the paint

Mike C · 04-02-2006, 10:50 AM

lol, I was always uncertain about that, due to the fact I don't generally like red cars, but red always suited this

chappers · 11-02-2006, 02:13 PM

Come on then mike, Pics or STFU!!!!!

Mike C · 13-02-2006, 10:58 PM
