[quote=BruceT;331611]Looks very nice, needs a rear spoiler though![/quote] Would have to see it in the metal to decide properly, but i like it without the spoiler, looks different.

Post 331890 by leet5r on 2010-09-16 21:29:37

cheers lads, i got a s70 spoiler to try becasue the t5r 1 was lookin abit old , but the s70 1 didnt fit so i priced a 850r 1 from rufe and it was 210quid, av been lookin for a 850r 1 since i got the car and a set of volans. i have come to like the look with out the spoiler on and no 1 gives it a 2nd look then bang , 14psi goes straight past lol. theres a few jobs need doin on her so shes MINT then i might sell so some1 else can enjoy her

Post 331902 by Wobbly Dave on 2010-09-16 22:28:28

if you ever need it polishing out - then.... I am almost certainly not the person to do it for you ??? Seriously good lookin' motor.

Post 339474 by leet5r on 2010-10-20 21:15:13

heres a pic of the 850r rear spoiler fitted , al get some more pics soon

Post 339477 by The Flying Moose on 2010-10-20 21:32:15

They look a million dollars with the rear boot spoiler. Always thought something was missing without one. Good purchase and the colour match looks perfect. Look forward to seeing a picture of it fitted out of the garage.

Post 339478 by leet5r on 2010-10-20 21:33:08

Ad like to get her to 1350kgs poss 1300 but that's when it becomes to much for the daily driver.

Post 412086 by Tomcat on 2011-09-24 13:11:27

Used to have a friend who had a stripped out, caged, rally prep'd Mk2 Escort that he used to use for commuting to work and back every day, it had a really lumpy rally cam and would hardly tick over let alone pull below 2000rpm, he was over 60 and he loved it. Sadly he's dead now (rest in peace mate) so stop being such a wuss and go the whole hog on it!!,lmao.

[quote=leet5r;412218]cheers m8 , but the front splitter is stone chipped like mad after a quick blast with a new shape focus RS lol , hows you m8 , glad to see that ya kept the R[/quote] Lol always nice to have a quick squirt but unfortunately being so low it does that. I've painted mine myself since having it and have just got the car back from having the bumper repainted/repaired and had it done again. Not looking forward to the first chip, think I'll take it off the road over winter to avoid the grit ect as that really did it no justice last year...
