They look the absolute business Jim.
I will have some myself one of these days. Put my saving back a bit now though, had a blowout on the Mondeo on Thursday on the way home from work so had to whack out the best part of Ł300 today for a new wheel and tyre.
I'll get there though.

Tell me about it. I was not happy. And it was Ł180 for the wheel and Ł100 for the tyre. Gutted.
They're in, they just need a bit of moving about so I can get the grille bolts in, then just need wiring up. Getting there though.

Hi mate, just sat down and read though this whole thread, I'm very jealous of your car, when i was your age I wanted a mk5a/b escort to something very similar to yours.
Love the carbon front end and the wheels, but in one of the older pics with the red rim on them.
Wow what a set of brakes! you must suffer from the same paranoia I do at times, not the fact that your ever not stop quick enough and run in to someone, but the fact that if you do have to hit the stopper hard and stop quick, that the numpty behind on their normal brakes will run into the back of you!lol
