Default My S2 escort RS

Had this for about 6 weeks now and had some up's and downs as with all RS turbo's but its now fine touch wood and getting cleaner as belive it was car washed most its life ??

But here are some pics as had a afternoon of mopping and polishing

Next up is get the inside nice and clean with the wet vax :mrgreen:










Hope you like

My list of things to do are:
Gonna get front mount cooler for her to lose the std tiny one
Get front bumper repainted
Maybe a set of wheels
Thinking about raisers on the bonnet inc the bad boy look ?
Get a non sagged spoiler
Also going to put some audio in there (custom pods up front, custom pods in rear & 2 x 12" inc amps to run and being fed from a alpine source)

Nice car and in the best colour.

Don't put a bad boy bonnet on it,it will ruin the front of the car. Imo they are best left for 106's, saxo's and other shite like that.
