I'd personally stick with the original colour to be honest!- not only would it be a hell of alot of work completely changing its colour to do the job right, it might also put a few people off when you come to sell it Plus, I think Auralis is a top colour for an EsCos anyway

I'd still keep it an original Cossie colour though matey! A lad who I know, lives in the same town as me, had an EsCos replica and decided to paint it 'Impreza P1' blue which in my honest opinion defeats the whole idea of doing a replica in the first place If you're trying to make people think you own a genuine Escort Cosworth, do yourself a favour and just concentrate on making it look original

i had a saxo a few years ago and bought it from First National
motor finance,it was a one owner hpi clear car,later on i found out
it had had a full colour change,aswell as a lot of money spent on it.
when people hpi'd it it,when i was selling it
it showed as having had a colour change,and the auction i bought it from,didn't consider colour changes as a hpi alert
and it well put them off,
with a Cozzie you can work out the colour from the tags,and it
looks iffy if the colours don't match up.

Nice one!!! One of the best replicas ive seen this one.

Is it auralis everywhere, under bonnet etc. If it is, i wouldnt even consider changing the colour mate.

Stick a private plate on it now and your done.

(being extar critical though, the badges need to be spread out a little bit more. )
