Default Not everyones cup of tea but i like (xr3)

Ive just added a bit of bling to my 1.8 16v escort xr3 had it 3 weeks and bought it standard apart from the engine, it now has rs1600i interior and front splitter, spots are on there way in post, still looking for the rs1600i rear spoiler, i have also fitted a brand new set of 17" wolfrace katannas at a bargin price of £375 what do you think

looks good, but i'd defo keep the retro theme going by ditching new style wheels.

but its a clean example and credit to you!

Looks really clean and great seeing one again! I'm sorry I dont like the huge wheels.. the car is crying for retro wheels and not the big bling they dont suit it.. but love the car.. hope u dont mind me saying.

Refurbing the orginal wheels ...
