anyone ever done it or seen a wrc style escort in mallard.

unsure if it will look good or bad, thinking that mallard may not be the right colour - but i could be wrong!


and please no pics of the horrid green thing that was once Keith Ripps car.

Rippers

Not mallard but Ash Black



Kelv your car looks hard as nails already mate

Never been a fan of plain colour WRC Cossie's only looks right in full livery. The Repsol WRC was exceptional looking IMO

Rippers

Couple more

Robski

i wouldn't bother changing yours Kelv...yours Esc cos if the toughest Esc cos ive seen on this forum(ive wanted 2 mention this a few times b4!!).......although wasn't K Ripps esco cos WRC look a like originally Mallard?(and later changed by a new owner?)....im soo sure it turned up at our local herts/north london RS meet meet a few times years ago in mallard?

I still remember Fords Genuine road going silver WRC esc cos with the transparent wing at the national day one year....anyone remember that?...i have pics somewhere of that car.

Rippers

Jasons Ripps Esc Cos was Mallard Green when he sold it the next owner did the multi flip paint job

Robski

i thought so!!.... i remember it well with the cobra( i think!) bucket recliners!

Robski

and thus destroyed it into a Max power cover type car

Rippers

I dunno mate it was pretty max power before the flip paint

Robski

lol.....now u mention it..lol.....maybe time makes me see things through rose tinted(flipped) glasses...lol

Paul, thats looks awesome in black, wish i still had my old one

ive had many people say it looks perfect the way it is but as im sat on the fence at the moment of selling up and calling it all quits im throwing other ideas thru my brain trying to gain some more enthusiasm in the car.


And Rob, cheers for the compliments mate - greatly appreciated

Robski

Kelv DON'T sell it and DON'T touch it!!......whats that old phrase?...if it ain't broke then dont try 2 fix it....4 me your esc cos is the bench mark when its comes 2 an Esc cos looking as hard as nails

this one seems to have been modified by Fochesto (ex Ferrari engineer) and it should have a 2.4l engine for 400bhp

but the subjet was the WRC kit and it's another matter I agree it's probably not the best good looking modification the std is so lovely.. it's everyone's call

Robski

i still think the silver(moondust silver) WRC looks great......i remember seeing Fords road going WRC Esc cos at a few shows and thought it looked the dogs dangles...i'll have to look at my photo collection and scan a copy 2 post in here!

Im liking the way the new mo's on the black car sit with wrc arches Kelv wish you had never started this thread now, as its giving me ideas. Any body got a good pick of a plain white car with wrc kit??

Rolls

iTrader: (2)

well....
I've got this in my garage at the moment....


Its not as if you can't change it back afterall - im going to get a new boot for a spolier to go on, and hopefully some carbon-fibre mirrors too!
Won't be done until next year though!

There was one at fordfair mate - don't suit plain white IMO - needs to be a darker colour to pull it off, just like Dave's red one!
