Thought I'd stick a pic up of my escort, was fitted with spax adjustables and 18" oz alloys, having some welding done just got one sill to do. I have a few plans with this so ill post up more as it happens.

escos wheels on a 5 door dont work and never have, a 3 door model just about gets away with it, apart from that looks tidy

Keep those wheels, they are far nicer than escos wheels!

Dan j

With them being et25 and me fitting focus st170 rear brakes they will end up sticking to far out the arches plus I have already bought the cossies

Aren't escos wheels et25 too? And quite wide so they might stick out even further.

Dan j

Yeah et25 and will stick out should also mention there going on 195/40 tires

So I waited over a month to get my cossies and the painted parts, long story short is the painted stuff needs redoing and not like I can pop 200 mile for the guy to sort it.

So other issue is the car isn't low enough to suit the wheels so that's being sorted soon, changed my mind on a few items too.








So the daft looking aftermarket bumper is called an evotech decided that I didn't like it looks to much like a character from the kids film cars lol. The replica cosworth spoiler isn't working for me either so thats going, I'll have to buy another rs accessories spoiler. So a crude pic or two of how I want it to look:




That's all folks..

i'm not totally against the escos wheels but needs skirts to pull it off on a 5dr
also black wheels imo look shite, either silver or i'd go for white personally

Dan j

These are the skirts to go on, escort cabriolet Rs side skirts


I don't like the black either but at the moment its not important need to get the body sorted out 1st

I know it's your car but for your own sake don't spank all your money on trying to make a mk6 5 door look awesome. Best could be done I reckon is a GTI replica with 15" wheels and a small drop. At least will ride nice then and look smart.

Not my taste but if your happy that's what matters. Just remember you gotta tell the insurance about all the wheels and body kit bits or you could be in for a world of hurt if get pulled over.

Dan j

Fella I'm not 17 I'm not about to waste money and not declare it, as for the gti kit why would I do that, how many " gti replicas " do you see ?

The theme for the car was to use genuine ford Rs parts which is the rear bumper and skirts which are fairly rare, only non ford parts the suspension or the morettes.

Thanks for your comment tho
