i know lol i was too lazy to read it all but then did lol will you do mine instead then lol

 

i like them mate

 

look sweet keep em on mate !

 

It cant be that hard to do.Ive never seen a set of escort headlights done before.

 

Much better! Could do with replacing that knackered plate on the front too though!

 

they suit your black car perfectly but they would,nt suit all colours

 

In fact, I am a bit of a blackeye whore!!

Along came my first focus, I blacked the headlights out straight away, was one of the first to do it on the focus owners club,



Then I bought a set of facelight headlights, and smoked those before fitting;




Then I bought this with the factory xenons;



and quickly did this to it, which was a bum clenching moment at a few hundred pounds per headlamp unit;




And now I'm trying to pluck up the courage to do the same to this!




Rich

 

New plates already ordered rich, got them from my local ford dealers, so they have my local dealer badge on them, sad i know, pick them up tuesday

 

Cheers for the comments people, looks like a resounding yes then

 

same here mate and really like the look and my rears are the smoked 1's and might get smoked side repeaters and fronts too how is it done how do you get them apart and what paint to use so on ?

 

Looks miles better now.

 

not sure about on escorts but on the mondeos you take out the headlight and heat up the glue holding the lense on, flick the caps off but not breaking them.
then you get t-cut to buff off the chrome inside of them, reheat the glue and stick them back on

 

I dont know how the escort ones come along.Have a look to see if there is any clips holding the class to the rest of the lamp.Im sure they dont have clips though.


AHHHHH Rich170 how is my little storker doing lol.

 

Your not gona give up about the black wheels are you lol. once its lowered, debadged, smoked side repeaters and the windows tinted, it will all come together, this is an idea of what it will look when done


Pal did a photoshop

 

Now then Bud where abouts do you live is it Blackpool?

 

Fiddy are they the pics you were teling me about.It looks cool.

 

Aye mate, gives an idea of what it will look like once i get it how i want it, lowered, debadged, tinted windows, smoked side repeaters, colour coded handle on the boot. going for the stealthy nightrider type look, aka, murdered out, as they say in the 'hood' lol

 

Here we go, blackpool, liverpool, still a pool

 

murdered mondeo ftw

looks good in those pics

 

An improvement IMO.

 

I like the black light on black mk2
I did mine

 

like the black lights

 

i like them fella, looks better. deffo.

 

looks better, whats your mate on.

pete

 

Crack i think fella, because the more i look at them, the more im thinking yay, plus it seems most think that they look better. i wasnt too sure at first mind, plus ive seen them a lot of other mondys and thought not my cup of tea, mine is the first black one ive seen them on though, and i do think they suit black cars.



Cheers for the comments gents

 

Lights are ok yes.

The sunstrip, the "V6" badge, the ride height and the wheels on the other hand......

 

The V6 badge and height will be sorted, the wheels are staying unless i come into some money, and the sunstrip, well, hadnt even thought about it tbh.

 

They look ace, i had them on my electric current red st and loved them but now ive got an amparo blue mondeo and cant decide whether to go for it or not.

 

no leave on the sun strip suits it all blacked out with that on

 

they look ace i think

 

Tough one mate, i think red and black go well together, and black and black, but was looking at a mates 200 yesterday with blackeyes, and i didnt really like them against the racing blue paint tbh, they did look better than the standard lights though, so was defo an improvement, but i have a genuine dislike for the standard headlights, far to big imho.

 

Untill it was mentioned above i hadnt really thought about leaving it or taking it off.

 

black eyes look great, I had a set on my ST24 and they really help make the massive lights look smaller.

When you lower the car make sure you lower the front more than the rear as the shape of the front arch makes it look higher. I lowered my ST24 40mm all round on koni springs and I could have easily gone another 5 or 10mm on the front. I was told it would settle but I was never really happy with how it looked side on. I have a feeling some makes of lowering spring kits you can buy for the Mk2 are 40mm rear, 50mm front.

 

Most of the normal kits, PI,GMAX, JAMEX etc lower the same front and back, but im sure i have seen kits that lower the front more, because as you say, they do sit higher at the front.

 

Very well thanks sweet cheeks

 

Ha ha good lad.Are you loving your new ST then?

 

Yeah I love it, not loving the 270 miles to a tank of fuel though lol

 

The wheels do look better when the car is lowered i admit

 

been done on my scooby a while too

 

Told you lol. trust me, once its all done and how i want it, it will all come together, at the minute, it looks a bit hit and miss, but its only half way there.



Ginge, never seen them on a scoob before, looks canny like
