Sorry to post in here and the photo room but dont really know where to go with iut, want to put my own mark on it so the more advice the better.

ive had it a few weeks now and not posted any pics, this is partly due to my nice new mats still not arriving and the fact that ive probably had to polish it 15 times and hoover it for 5 hours to get anywhere near as nice as i want it.

Its still not there as i really need to get a little bit of paint done on it but ive got it looking a lot nicer now than when i bought it.

I do however need to put my own mark on it as I dont like the fact that its in essence still someone elses car.

Any comments or suggested will be appreciated, I feel i need to do something with the numberplates.

Anyway here are the pics!



















So thats it Hope you like

All comments welcome!

 

Nice car i was going to buy this one but ended up going for the one i have now thats was a mag feature car aswell it have super t's on it a couple of month agao looks good on standard one aswell

 

i think the super Ts where a while ago now mate, I love Super Ts would have liked them on it still.

The wheels need to be changed but im unsure on the plates and the indicators, and the side repeaters. I keep being told clear indicators look bad though.

I dunno about 500 grills aswell

 

i think it looks really good leave it as it is imoa

 

fuck what people tell you look bad go with what you like and nice car mate and my fave colour

 

That looks a million pounds better than when i had it

Great car mate

 

Thanks Paul, Its already took quite a lot. Front drivers wing will be painted within the next couple of weeks and then the outside will be looking really good!.

How illegal are the small front numberplates you can get? The ones slightly bigger than a bike plate...

 

RS500 Grilles look stunning on an escoss

Get some bought ,

 

Looks stunning mate would look stunning on the 18 inch escos alloys. One thing thats a pet hate of mine is the painted front side lights dunno why

 

so 500 grills are a yes then, What would you do with the side lights as im not sure im a fan either. Just the guy i bought it from said unless they are the same colour they look shite.

 

i quite like it Carlo iam doing the same with mineand as for the rs500 thats also what iam doing think they look good with fog lights or grills

 

I never liked the side lights colour coded mate , get some std ones

Rondell alloys ( AJC Has a nice set for sale cheap )
Carbon front splitters
Gonad ( sorry nomad )real lights

That will make it a stunning escoss

 

My escos had the morrets with the proper white side lights i liked it. There is a red one near me totally standard looks great without the morrets thats one thing i had planned to take off my escos if i kept it.

 

Ive got some sort of from lee ivatt if he hasnt binned them lol, My fault if he has. I just gotta pick the stuff up but i havent had a chance.

I dont think i could remove the morrettes, I love em. Never used to though.

 

paint some rondells black and ring it

 

Very nice!

 

Looks really good mate..

 

looking good fella, you have gotta put your mark on it like, i owuld go with 500 grills, standard side lights, standard headlights, nomad's on the back, carbon splitter/stone deflector on the front, wolf carbon add-on to the lower spoiler on the back.

wheels, tough one really, as you can go comps, like everyman and his dog, though they look the bollocks, RL7's if you can find a set, rondells like pauk has said, but be good to see something different..........some 18 monte style rims look mega with red........

but still be good to see something different

oh, and a small bike style plate on the front, and a normal standard sizeone on the back, with the reg centralised

that my 2p's worth

top motor, hope to have my own someday soon

 

Stunning

If she was mine I would change the front indicators back to amber's. Then if you want to change the wheels I would go for Rondells or 18" cossie rims. Then again I may be tempted to keep the looks completely standard. Standard one's seem to stand out more than modified ones these days

 

Looks very nice,but I am not a fan of rondells

 

looks good fella

 

i'm with Paul on the mods he suggested.

i think painted sides look better, better than a white side light sitting in between red wings,bonnet,lights....

looking well.

 

thats very nice

 

Looks spot on


So sould I keep a look out for a man with a big grin ear to ear out and about today in his new cosy then?

 

looking good

 

Yep thats me, Ill be getting the numberplates asap, Normal size on rear poss with GB and a jap size on the front cut down a bit, As the bike ones just to illegal me thinks.

Dunno weather to smoke the clear fogs and indicators and get some smoked side repeaters.

 

polished 15 times?!

lucky if i've polished all my cars 15 times total LOL

 

car looks mint but could,nt you have taken the pics in day light lol

 

very nice pal.

 

500 grills,old style mo's it would look mint then mate looks a dam nice car as is

 

Do you not think standard lights look better, I fuckin hate Morettes!


Creative Carbon splitters are a must as yours will probably be rippled and scratched.
Tyres are just as important as the wheels you put on, 225/35/18 Yoko Paradas or Michelin Pilots will nail it for sure.Are your bumper fixings still intact? if not theyre pennies from Fords, seperates the good solid Escossies from the tatty ones IMO little things like that.

 

Small RSOC plates look much better and sit flush on the bumper as per pic.

 

Are your badges still fresh? another little thing .

 

I dont know how far you want to go with "tidying it up" mate but one of the best things I done with mine to accomplish that was paint the inner arches as you see quite a bit over the top of the tyre, makes it look fresh
.
Took me 3 hours to rub down with petrol properly and the paint was 45 quid.

 

I thought you said proper pics, there all dark

Looking good

Steve

 

Very nice i would change the steering wheel thow

 

looking good

 

new steering wheel and monte wheels, maybe in 18s if you can get them.

then ditch those morrettes and get some standard ones with side lights, rs500 grills and away you go

 

i know two of the previous owners of this car very tidy indeed, had leather and super ts on.
