ive been sat here for 3 weeks now trying to make my mind up should i put s1 arches on or not .? i love the look of them with the bigger arches but a part of me says no leave it alone .
wots ur thoughts guys and gals????

 

leave it alone, very few I have seen actually look good close up, most look like what they
are, cars with the wrong body kit

 

Keep it standard looking,s2s look good as they are.

 

Andy R's escort looks good and has an S1 kit on it IIRC

 

got any pics??

 

Do it...

 

ooo fook yer that does look good

 

Makes them sit better for some reason , wasn't quickest of my escorts but my favourite...

 

i do like that mate , i had one once before with them on i just think they look more aggresive lk that

 

i would say no mate to be honest..leave it as ford intended..i may attempt something like that on an old dog but yours looks well tidy so you may regret it..concentrate on keeping her in good nick and original..just my thoughts.

 

i think they look nice especially if your putting on wider wheels.

 

I prefer the S2 without the S1 kit but its your motor....

 

the arch never looks right imho, you can see that they do not line up with the bumper right when you stand next to them.
They look reasonable in pictures but its blatantly obvious when you see them close up in real life

 

if people cant cut the arches straight they dont line up mine line up fine even in the flesh, its not rocket science to get these arches to sit flush with your bumpers, like any arches if fitted poorly look crap but these can look good.

 

I always thought they look best with s1 arches, gives s2's a more aggressive/motorsport look.

 

I would definitely go the series 1 route I think they look so much tougher with them.



Yes they need a bit of work to fit perfectly as mine do in the pics above and below but definitely worth the effort in the long run.



Before anyone else says it yes mine looks a bit of a shed with the kit in white but some of us are out of work with injuries after a bad car crash and living on DLA until we are well enough to get back into work.
