Howdy folks.

My mk3 XR3i project is in the early stages - see http://groups.msn.com/xr3i/shoebox.msnw

It's going to end up initially like the first couple of pictures on there; i.e. Mad Max style satin black, RS1600i front/rear spoilers and wheels etc. Then I think I'll be taking it to Powerflow for a cheeky dual-exit 4.5" jap-style system. Maybe.

From then on I'm unsure... I was thinking maybe a 2-tone paintjob, keeping the satin black at the bottom with silver at the top (or someone suggested Volvo T5 gold)...

As for the interior I don't know whether to go for a full stripped, caged, bucket-seats-and-not-much-else affair or to get leather Cossie Recaros or what.

Any suggestions at all gratefully received!!!

 

I like the satin black idea ,think you would need a caged int for that to work well though

 

hiya m8, love the idea painting it satin black, but don't oversize the wheels, but plees stay off the "two tone" idea!!! 2 tone's are good on larger cars (i.e. mondeo size on), but IMO not on a good old escort!!
do let the piccies comming

 

Here ya go mate.............












Looks good mate, there was a satin black S1 on Ebay a while ago - liked the look of that also.

I'd stick to the whole car in satin black with a Lee@Fusion chrome roll cage in there too, with the odd chrome bit in the bay

 

thanks for that mate

The first two pics are of a car that was on ebay a few weeks ago - I wanted to buy it but I missed the end of the auction

...so I'm kind of pinching the idea (which is really lazy I know, but it does look great!); basically it'll end up looking like that. Obviously it won't stay like that for too long though, because it's all about originality I'm thinking aggressive stealth (which may knock out the two-tone idea anyway)

So yeah, I've nicked the idea but I'm going to develop it into something unique!!! Starting with that beefy Powerflow system...

 

d_bizzle, good luck m8, buttuh cannot see the first pics, would love to see them so i can imagine what it'll look like, better get started

 

cheers fomoco90, click the link in my first comment and you should be able to see the pics there...
