bought this last week as my runaround.

it was standard






added my mega rare 15" ronal turbo wheels and had a stainless exhaust made





added a hid xenon kit



then today i had it lowerd -60mm and gave it a clean









what do you think so far

 

TBH not sure those wheels suit it. Very nice car and very nice wheels but the 2 don't seem to go together for me.

 

yeah i few have said that but am happy

 

Thats the main thing. It's different

 

yup shure is

 

Looks nice

But not sure about the wheels Like you said though you like them


Brian

 

cheers brian

 

think the wheels look ok but could do with bigger tyres to give better look otherwise

 

looks ok now that uve lowered it.

its good to be different mate

 

better now its lowered

 

That looks fantastic!!!!

Propper euro.
Love it

 

I can't make my mind up about this so far. I think there's lot of potential in it though, maybe it needs some smoothing for that euro look, and does it need to go even lower?

 

i know it sounds stupid, but what about losing the skirts and spats. kinda softening the cars look (and taking away its identitiy) to make the wheels look more at home. personally i love it though. and maybe drop it more

 

looks very nice mate in some pics but then some others the wheels look far to small.

will be buying an escort gti soon as a daily runner what they like fuel wise etc and anything to watch out for?

 

Needs to go a little bit lower imo

But it's nice & different

 

Looks nice but dont like them wheels.

Dicko&Sarah my mates selling an Escort GTI 98 R reg 56k from new and 2 owners for Ł1700 if your interested?

 

if u could lower it more and get thos wheels sitting right into the arches it would look like some kind on hotrod

 

Looks sound Jeff. Looked good when i seen you on the M57 this week!

 

Them wheels are awful

nice car ruined

 

Looking good Jeff....passed you the other day but you never waved

 

I cant beleive how you can say that Gary!

Them wheels MAKE the car!

I think it looks awesome, Ronal's are mint!

 

looks sweet as fuck, as said the wheels make the car. better than the usual mondeo Si's or cossie rims.

foooooking sweet jeff

 

take it u won the bet putting those wheels on

 

Thats ruuuuuude!

 

cheers for the comments people look out for it at this years shows

it carnt go any lower

 

the ok on petrol , i beleve they go through lower arms quite often so look out for wear on those other than that there decent little runners if you find a unabused one

 

looks good mate, not to sure on the wheels tho, but if u like them then

I got a mk6 si as a runaround, same car, same engine, without the interior and skirts, these things go on forever, petrol's pretty good as long as you drive it below 4k, eats it after that! Lower arms(wishbones) are crap and go all the time only real problem with mine!! Go even more when lowered aswell , i've had mine 2years, done 30k and had no real probs, new clutch at 80k, and a exhaust a 60k, but was the orginal on it! Good cars suprize's a few people to, i love mine!

 

Before it was lowered it looked silly but now its lowered it looks alot better and i actually like the wheels, perhaps a little small for the mk6 escort but as said its different, ive never seen them on a GTi

And talking generally about the reliability, ive had my GTi for about 2 years and i use it every day, starts first time no matter what the weather, only things ive had done is normal stuff like brake pads, brake pipes, discs, and recently a new indicator stalk(which cost peanuts) and thats it, never put anything in the engine apart from some water for the washer bottle, it never needs oil/brake fluid/power steering fluid/ water

Only time it uses petrol is when i do long journeys really, other than that it doesnt drink much at all

 

cheers mate

 

Nice like the wheels certainly different

 

Looks much better now its been lowered

Looks sweet

 

Indeed they are, there's not much cooler than Ronal Turbo's!

Looks great mate, needs lowering abit more and some better pics!

Very sweet ride!

 

thanks again peeps better pics over the weekend

but for now does my bum look big in this

 

Now that looks phat

 

 

Look wickered lad as i said on FEOC

iam loving the wheels and the EURO look

 

great stuff cheers dude

 

How the fuck can you make a comment like that when ur busy chavving up an estate

 

 

WTF how the fuck is it chav if its getting the same bodykit as on that gti

i was just saying my opinion, as i'm not keen on them wheels

but each to there own

i spy clio in your sig
