Default Looks for a Cossie, seen this...

Hi guys,

Im now 95% there to have the for an Escos, im budgeting 16k, 15k for a car, 1k to fix any niggly problems.

My aim to to get a standard car and this might sound shocking, but I have no plans to modiy it at all.

Ive seen this on PH but i am VERY particular, is it me or does the door look a different colour?

Also anyone know about this car?

Thanks

I don't know of the car, but I can't really tell from the picture if the door looks a different colour, the only way to really tell is to go and view it.

edited, by the way I know what you mean about keeping them standard, as I am tring to keep mine as standard as possible, the only thing that isn't standard on mine is the K&N Panel filter and s/s exhaust all the rest as far as I can tell is all genuine Ford

can t tell, got to see and check if its maybe not just sunlight or a shadow or whatever.

This car is defo not standard, so its a bit controverse vs your saying above.

the standard turbo is maxxed out with this conversion.... so maybe a new one soon if you drive it hard? don't know and don't want to make you afraid....

but the color of the car is PERFECT

as said i would view it, as due to the angle of the quarter panel, and the wider front wing they can look " off " from a distance but be fine.. just have a really good look, as for the tuned side of things, 300 BHP on one of these engines is no hardship, and providing it was set up well, i would expect it to be very reliable..

finding a standard car in that colour ( one of the best in my opinion !! ) is not an easy task..

Think its the angle of the light as mines the same colour and sumtimes that looks odd shades on the doors but its not.
