Default White Escort Cosworth - Carbon Bonnet Vents… Yes or No?!?!

Guys,

I am thinking of sticking some Creative Carbon bonnet vents on my car. For those of you that don’t know my car it’s a white Escort Cosworth with genuine WRC Bumper, rear Spoiler and front steel wings etc… all done properly!!. What do you guys think of this mod? Chav or cool??

Also I am thinking of replacing my aluminium exhaust surround for a carbon one…. Again, what do you guys think… Chav or stylish?? I am almost sold on the carbon exhaust surround but not so sure on the bonnet vents. The paint is flaking off underneath on the turbo side of my standard vent and I cant be arsed to get it repainted.

Your comments would be appreciated!! No sarchasm please Mr Pritchard!

ps. Is this thread similar to two dippy women asking each other what they are wearing to a party or on a night out?

Cheers Staffi

Well I think they'd look ok and would kind of compliment the Anthracite wheels but I really am not sure!!

Do it Ian. Both ideas. Im not a massive unpainted carbon fan, but reckon you could pull it off.

And take those fucking clear rears off too!

Have you sued the Echo yet for using your cars picture AGAIN the other day?

I vote firebomb their office, just remember theyve moved, as burning down Yates isnt a good idea, all the chavvy old grannies will have nowhere to drink anymore

Carbon exhaust surround...YES but dont think the vents will look good TBH

Get a pic of Warrens car & get it photoshopped in white Ian. His car looks good with the carbo vents but think it's more to do with the Imperial Blue.

Lol... Im putting standard rear lights back on as soon as I find my old set

Saw the Echo (newspaper) today, am currently making up an incendary device - will plant it outside their offices later! Fancy using a picture of my car to head up a report of illegal street racing and wreckless driving!!

Shall I sue them?

On 2nd thoughts, dont do it, paint em.

Ill never forget when kelly came round one day, saw the carbon wing on the GTR and said "whys your spoiler painted the wrong colour?".

Sums it up really, i threw it away that same day

Car geeks love it, normal folk wonder what the fucks going on, and that includes young women
