Cheers for the comments about the bumper. Yeah i did it myself (well me and a mate). Not really that hard to do either.
Glenn - yes it's my escort, on the only day they've been on the road together. 10 mins later the saph was parked where it's been for the last 6 months

Looks really good as is, espec with the 7spokes, not so keen on the 5spokes the big... Maybe just a little bit of carbon, fog surrounds, c pillar trims? Don't think a Rouse kit or morrettes would make it look any better imo. Love silver saffs!

Wow!
Everything you shouldn't do the the front of a saff in a oner
1. Remove the badge
2. Fit morretes
3. Move your numberplate
4. Colour code your foglight surrounds
5. Cut holes in it
That is absolutely stinking!!

I think Saphs just have the vibe. They look hard and if you know what you're looking for they're unmistakable in the rear view mirror even in the dark....

You're joking right? There's nothing better than a squatting Saph

You get a good squat when you do a good launch rather than "no rear grip"

I should really leave the escos alone but can't help myself. I wanted to have a 4wd car, 2wd car and fwd car as toys. I've got that now and I'm still wanting to do the escos

Yeah I've done the same to mines.
Didn't cost much on mines though, I just welded the shocks and put pipe in instead of springs.
The less grip on a 2wd saff the better lol

Sorry but as said before, pretty much anything that can be done to ruin a good saff has been on that poor car! Still, if the owner is happy that's all that matters really!

Looks awesome, thats actually what got me into saphs, I've fond memories of being down the bouey and seeing cossies do that all the time, thats what started it all, even if it looks like its towning a caravan.
