Default anyone got any pics of.....

..... modified ( tastefully) escort estate's???

im selling the s2 in favour of something bigger boot wise and to use daily to transport the kids in, cue the escort estate, mk6 version? R/S reg, they seem pretty cheap and if i get a diesel shouldnt be too expensive to run, theres 1 kicking around my town with morettes and lowered, a rear spoiler and mondy wheels, which got me wondering if anyone had any pics of any decent ones

I DONT LIKE BODYKITS

Thanks

its a 1.8 16v zetec does about 85 miles on a tenner. i use it to goto work in. it carries all my tiling gear and loads of other crap aswell. the rear spoiler was Ł60 iirc. had it nearlt 6 years now and i paid 2k for it then. done 55k miles in it and its had just basic things like exhaust, pads dics, idle control valve(common thing) but the car does see alot of hammering and seems to just take every thing in its stride. excellent car.

so theyre pretty economical on petrol anyway, i just fancy a diesel to kick about in, though would consider a petrol if theyre alright to run, im not too arsed about maintenance as lee can do all that when it needs it, cant find any pics anywhere of modified ones mind

if your just running about in it then deffo get a petrol, diesel car will be dearer to purchase, diesel is more exspensive than petrol, plus pottering about wont return a good mpg. normally get around 400 miles on a Ł50 tank of fuel. i insured it for business purposes and sdp. cost about Ł260 FC
