It doesnt look bad for a 1.3lol. But no it looks so nice and i think escort cossies look so much better when they have the standard lights left in.

235/35/18, the tyre wall thickness matey? look a bit overgrown on the rims when 40mm,its a classic mistake people make when buying tyres.

Seeing pictures of this car made my mind up on holding out for some old style Mo's over the new ones. Great looking car, just how they should look.
