I wouldnt mind a set for the escort in either et15 or 25 but finding someone willing to sell a set is the hard part.

Must be more of them in Liverpool between yourself, JC and Sticky than anywhere else in the world
What size are you after? If you want 8x18s i may be able to help



how much
I'll phone you later mate, just about to go and try and make shonky 4wd again as 3wd is a bit dodgy

hi pete

thanks , i put a magnex system on it , the mongoose was too loud and wouldnot pass track reg noise it was 9yrs old aswell maybe thats why

I love the magnex tho very quite and unrestrictive should have bought that one yrs ago


if the tail pipe is on the bumper that because it was only resting on it before we fitted it properly

cheers marco

Looking Mint Marco ... Nice to see someone driving it properly as well ... Cossies belong on the road and track, not an airtight carcoon being cotton-budded to death

Quick update

dont want to start a new topic so ill just add to this old topic, basically when i had the car painted after a whille (about 18 months) it started to micro blister around the front wings, part of the doors and afew bits around the rear quaters any way i took it back to ford to complain about it they said " no probs" they would sort it out.

all i have had done is the bonnet, and the 2 sides but the paint work that Tom has done is the bizz it's like glass/ mirror finish ive got some pics to upload taken with my phone but i dont think they will do any justice

im over the moon
