Default How cool is this car!

This Jam's car(Escorton8's) and he will kill me for posting these pics as the car is not YET up to his bufty standards BUT I was at the garage today and spotted it in for a few touches before it goes to AVA for mapping.


I think it looks hard as sitting on the ramps










keep an eye out for the finished article in the near future.

It will have the normal spoiler set up.

The tail gate glass was being fitted tonight and until then the window could not be fitted.

Fron splitter and hockey sticks still to go back on too

You may be correct as it was a while from the last time I spoke to him about the spoiler.

Defo keep the top spoiler off IMO. I'd love to strip the interior in mine, black RL7's and lose the top spoiler. Don't have the bottle for it though

Then again..

looks good without the spoiler, its funny how a de-spoilered escos looks a lot harder than fully kitted one.

nice car

I personally feel that had nothing to do with the accident if thats what your saying

Esc cos looks great actually, If I owned one I would probably leave it on to be noticed as its good to stand out, even without a spoiler though it looks nothing like a rs2k and it does help it look more like a sleeper

Escorts look absolutly wank without the spoliers IMHO, unless it has a gen WRC kit on it, and then only if painted a "hard" colour, white/ black etc. not red or a fucking metal flake flip dodgem car paint job like the one for sale recently

Euan you just can keep anythin quiet can you?? Only kiddin mate. Thanks for posting the pics and thanks for the criticism/comments guys.

The car is still work in progress. The lower rear spoiler will deffy be going on but still unsure what to do with the upper spoiler. If i leave it off im gonna be stuck with 5 big holes in the tailgate. Iv looked for gromets to plug them with but couldn't find any, and there is no way im gonna catty over them. hmmm anyway.

Front splitter, hockey sticks etc are still to be fitted and paint had to be flattened. Other than that its getting there.

Once it leaves the paint shop its off to AVA to get the fueling and mapping sorted out. Hopefully not be to long untill its finished.

Thanks all

Can't you get a normal Mk5 boot and fit the lower spoiler to that?
