Picked my Battleship grey 90 spec Escort this weekend. Well happy with it to be honest. It's up on Axel stands waiting for the comps to come back from the powder coaters and also gives me chance to have a good look around it

Fitted my smoked rear lights, smoked sides and clear fronts now which imo look better. I did like the oem look bit the smiled and grey work better for me. I did have another set of minty mint smoked rears I brought of a chap on once they had finished on ebay.....schoolboy error really only checked one when they turned up and it was mint so never checked the other....when I did the side was smashed to bits ended up cleaning the old ones up with a mop and some light cutting compound and they look ok now but still not as mint as the others!! No comeback on them though waste of 70 quid

Still who cares I've got a super shiny series 2 in my unit

Need to fit my NMS cosworth management kit I've acquired but if I'm honest may leave that to Karl and Oli the loom looks like an electricians nightmare lol.

I'll get some pics up when I get home

 

Sounds nice mate, post up some pics, which side smoked rear light do you have spare?

 

Nice on chris.
Lets see some new pics then.
Picking myself a FRST myself in a few days and the temptation to get it over to MSD has started already

 

Lets try again now im at work......









Will look better once i get my comps fitted

 

Ooh thats different, quite like that

 

Looks nice and clean mate, like the colour as well

 

Its not going to be to everybodys taste but i like it more and more each time i see it, the satin black comps will work well once there back

I can safely say im the only one on here with a series2 that colour anyway so its nice and unique, it looks so much better in the flesh too

 

Now that needs a carbon bonnet and roof for sure

 

I dunno Kris, maybe a bonnet but not sure as id go for the roof to be honest, somethings telling me to go with a grey bonnet i cant make my mind up.

Gonna wait untill the wheels are on and look at it outside under artificial lights its hard to get an idea of how things will work.

Im well happy though

 

Looks very nice mate ill keep my eyes peeled for it

 

Loving that!!!!!!!

 

Thanks people

Twins i want some carbon bits just unsure what to do now is there some sort of rear spoiler lip i can remember seeing ?

Ive got big plans for this car just need this management sorting its been my dream to own a propper efi mk4 Escort for years and its finally coming true

Cheers

Chris

 

im colour blind so to me it looks like they laquered the primer, saying that i still like it

 

LOL thats pretty much what Battleship grey is too be fair just glossy primer but it looks cool with the black bits....dare to be different i say hahaha

 

Isnt that Lindsay Seatons old s2?? Another NMS car

 

Looks cool

 

Stunning love the colour.

 

Got to love people that give the finger to all the purists!
The colour looks fantastic, what colour wheels are you going for?

Ben.

 

looks lovely that mate, nice colour. these less in your face colours are the in thing on a lot of modern day sports cars ie morgan. black wheels suits the grey to a tee. it suits the escort aswell mate. id go black comp mo', some polished rs500 type bbs or black esco's alloys. i think the bbs with either black/gold or silver centres would give a different look on a mk4.

 

Oh yes im told its seen some action

Bargain to be fair its had major surgery to make it the good solid car it is now

 

Got some flat faced 5 spoke mo's for it there just being powdercoated

Want some classic oz mag wheels at some point to all in satin black offcourse.

These pics dont do it any favours to be honest ill get it out next week and take some propper ones

Cheers for the comments

 

get sum carbon on it and a big power engine mate

 

That looks cool !

 

Love the look of that

 

Oh yes plans are already underway Stu

Wheres best to price up a carbon bonnet ?

 

Yeah your kinda fucked when the roofs been chopped off and replaced with a non sunroof one the whole keep it genuine go's out the window. I love the colour i can pretty much say im the only s2 in this shade at the mo......hopefully that is

 

phil carbon delight

 

Cheers mate ill have a look now

 

or u could buy my fibreglass bonnet and paint it black

 

Its already black but i do fancy a carbon one to be honest.......

Im still not sure if it would look to much in grey aswell or keep it darker as it is, can you get carbon vents aswell Stu ?

 

Very nice

 

Proper colour

 

how much are you talking for a carbon bonnet? and a fibreglass one for that matter.

the comps will suit that colour car mate. that 3 dr looks nice aswell.

 

Hard as nails mate, loving that

 

Im not sure but im starting to think a bonnet the same colour will look better not sure if i want a carbon one yet ?

I want to see it outside once wheels are fitted on thursday so i can get a better idea on how it looks

 

carbon is around 600 i think and my fibreglass 1 is 170 if u want it

 

 

Oooooh that looks proper !

 

Very smart mate, colour suits it!

 

Thats nice.Its nice to see its a different colour.
