do it high shine gloss black with a billion layers of laqour so its GLEAMING will look much nicer than satin black but the new shape looks sweet dude!

Only a small number of words can effectively describe this car ..

Amazing
Stunning
Superb

are a select few!!

Its probably one of only a handful of Escort turbo's that can genuinely claim to be the best of the bunch the responses in this topic is proof enough of that.

Spot on as always especially with the re-designed diffuser!! Looking forward to seeing the fully fitted pictures
