Ive just added a bit of bling to my 1.8 16v escort xr3 had it 3 weeks and bought it standard apart from the engine, it now has rs1600i interior and front splitter, spots are on there way in post, still looking for the rs1600i rear spoiler, i have also fitted a brand new set of 17" wolfrace katannas at a bargin price of £375 what do you think

before


after

 

It looks nice, but I love the std look much better.
tabetha

 

I do to trust its just its got a 1800 16v zetec in it so thought bugger it now its part modded i will beef it up abit

 

I like it mate, I think it's just right.

 

Lowering it slightly maybe 25mm? What do you think?

 

Cheers guys got to come down slightly i think and will look cooler with the spots fitted

 

looks good, but i'd defo keep the retro theme going by ditching new style wheels.

but its a clean example and credit to you!

 

CheeRS dude i was going for the retro theme but i decided i wanted to go for a cool set of wheels but i am going to get the cloverleafs refurbed

 

Series one alloys mate and it will look mint

 

They will come eventually mate as a spare but happy with the 17s for now

 

Get the cloverleafs back on

 

They are hanging someone decided to paint them with a brush i reckon one day i will get them shot blasted and re done but got 7 here lol

 

lower it and put some black series 1s on!!!

look loads better imo!

 

looks cool mate, though if you want aftermarket rims: azev a's are the dogs dangleys on a mk3.

 

not a fan of the wheels, saph cossie rims look sweet on them.

pukka looking though, cleaned up a beauty

 

i had a black mk3 xr3 and always fancied putting 3dr cos rims on it, i think yours looks fine really mate. i think clover leafs are still right for the car though

 

cheers dude i love it as is to be honest but will never sale the cloverleafs anyway

 

I reckon the 17'' rs seven spokes look naughty on scorts Imo

 

Lol yeah sos the price of them

 

that looks a goodun mate, and a bargain price

 

Yeah thats generally the issue with tasty wheels haha

 

Just started doing my brothers XR3.

Will have a 2 litre Black Top with TBs

Steve.

 

looks awsome mate got a mk4 with the 17 inch ford 7 spokes softlines just makes an escort look right with 17s

 

i got a mint 81 xr3 go back to the std look mate !!! people are apreciating these carz now!!! loose the 17 & go clover!!!
cant beat a std xr3 mate!!! get yourself over to xroc too buddy!!

 

Slam it and scrap the clovers.

 

Lol cheers guys, already on xr0c bud but thanks for the offer, as for the 17s on a xr3 ive got to xr3s one is stock and the other is what you see i will get pics of the other one up tomorrow some time

 

Well as promised here she is

 

Looks really clean and great seeing one again! I'm sorry I dont like the huge wheels.. the car is crying for retro wheels and not the big bling they dont suit it.. but love the car.. hope u dont mind me saying.

Refurbing the orginal wheels ...

 

The one with the big wheels is going back to stock then up for sale the other will be left as is but i want to rs1600i it we will see
