Hi been a member on here for some time but never thought my 2 previous cars were worth showing had a Escort GTi before my ST170 here she is:



And here is how she finished.





Anyway here’s my ST170 hope you like lot of time and money has gone into her, but very happy with the results.

Enjoy, love to hear your opinions, as there are some simply STUNNING cars on this forum, so would love to hear what you lot think. Cheers.

What I put on some other forums, easier just to copy and paste.
These are the final shots of my car for quite a while. She’s not going but I’ve finished for now, with the outside.

I’m very very happy with the over all look of her now. She looks really moody yet really really subtle – which is how all cars should be modded IMO. So that’s the outside done will be doing some other stuff- but not until the back end of 2008, got to many students accounts to pay off!!

So here she is for a while. Oh and before anyone says it, some dick decided to give me an earlier xmas present by smashing my drivers side wing mirror the other day, got the unit and mirror replaced but the cover is being sprayed at the moment, won’t be back on till other side of xmas.

Tidy ST170 mate, but I don't like the last modification you did to the Escy though

Do you get away with those plates on the Focus then?

Oh, want to buy my white multispokes???

The GTi was worth showing you wolly, it looked really nice

I do like your taste in modding, you dont do anything drastic and make the car look crap, you keep it how ford intended but improve on it, which is what i like doing and id have the ST exactly how you have modded it

Can i ask what happened in that crash? looks like you went head on into that post any injuries within the car? did the airbag work?

Only had them on couple of weeks, no problems so far touch wood. But don’t think there a million miles away from enlgish ones- not loads.

Cheers, again that’s why I love the majority of cars on here.

Eerr..in a nut shell was approaching a roundabout 35-40mph (off a dual carriage way) car in the left lane decided while on the roundabout to suddenly turn right, so I t-boned him, but it bounced me off into that post. Thankfully that post was there otherwise wouldn’t headed into on coming traffic.

Ye I got wip lash and so did a mate in my car he had to cut out. But thankfully no that bad. Eerr…I;m guessing the air bag woulda work but I had this steering wheel on:



But I sit SO far back I was no where near the wheel, so just the whip lash.

Thanks for all the positive comments really appreciate it, was interested to see what you lot said.
