Well, I took my time getting a car eh! :rolleyes:
Today I did my two first mods!
- Sony CD/MP3 Player
- KA Sticker (Thanks to Martin (Just Doors) )
This was the "old school" tape player I had this morning...
And this is a more up-to-date CD/MP3 player that Dazza fitted for me this afternoon!
Another mod was a
KA sticker! Which you can see in the new pic!
I did want the KA from the old tape player in but it wouldn't fit so I went to Martin
and he sorted it by giving me a few KA stickers! (Adam's gone mad with them!! - MEN! lol)
Woohoo! Its well nice to sit in too. Smooth
Its well smart. Very tidy
I love it!!! On behalf of colette 'F'ing hell thats a nice red' !
Look after it Vicky or it will turn pink!
I like the CD player. Very smart!
Got any idea's for her? Let us know!
PS... Whats her name??????
Personally I like Gillie. Its cute lol
U let the cat outta the bag a day early u mad head lol. Keep it smooth and euro hun, but do the inside lovely with loadsa RED lights, especially in all the clocks, mmmmmmmmm *drools*
Some cool deep dish rims would be cool too, obviously no bigger than 16s.
Congrats vick, tis gorgeous
glad u got the car u wanted but please i no youd liek it pink but dont do it
my girlfriends just got a KA!! They are proper girly cars but very nice!!
Get that tape player on ebay, i sold my old ford cd player for a bomb, u mite get a bit for it!!
Gud luck with the moddin!
Looks Sweet Vicky
Mr & Mrs parked together how sweet lol
Always thought your rear looked better than adams lol...
Any details on the engine etc?
Really happy for you Vicky
Go Vicky Go Vicky
vick, its very nice hun, looks betta with the body coloured bumpers. i cant wait to see what you do to it. It was a bargain too by the sounds of it, well done to Adam too for finding. see ya soon.
Hoping to get 15" Escort GTi wheels. What do you all think?!
Escort GTi Wheel : (15")
Hey Vic, that looks smart! The KA's look so much better with the colour coded bumpers. Made up for ya
You want some TSW stealth 15s?
Got my heart set on Escort GTi wheels sorry Jimbo! If I can't get any, then I want some OZ Hydras!
Just been messing about on Paint and I think my attempt to modify the KA has gone well! For those who haven't noticed, I have smoothed the boot, put tints on (hehe)
, got rid of the wiper and de-handled too!
What you think?! Would look smart with some nice alloys! (Hint hint to all you photoshoppers!)
cant beat a bit of modifying in paint
so much better than that photoshop nonsense
was definetly a good find with it having so many luxaries and such little milage on it
i've had the pleasure of driving it and its a great little car
was a lot comfier than my car, guess thats down to my suspension being solid though
i know you've got plenty of plans for it and they're all bloody good ones too, and im always here to help if you want a hand

I honestly think I will keep the tape player and put that back in when it comes to selling the car!
the escort gti wheels are super nice on a KA adds 'chunkiness' your plans for smoothin are spot on (you think like me and adam)
You kept the new car very quiet didnt ya
Looking good Vics. I recon those Escort wheels will look sweet, couple of inches bigger and a nice 5 bar Ford wheel, I think some aftermarket wheels could look a little OTT on that KA.
Very nice Vicky looks sweet!
Lookin vey nice Vik! Nice and tidy!
Sounds likeit was a bargain too from what I've heard
GTi wheels...YES!
Make sure ya get chunky tyres too
add a bit of a mean look to it, i.e. Si's old blue Ka, Escort cossie rims and tyres that stood outside the bodywork
vicki its absolutely gorgeous, im made up for ya!
well worth the wait i must say! so when we goin to parkgate for my ice cream then?

Need help finding a name!
xXKinkyXx we can go for an Ice Cream whenever we are free!

Too right I kept it quiet! Hehe. Wanted to get it before I told people - just incase I never got it. But I did!
Go me!!
Can anyone recommend a place that would Colour Code my handles and spray my left wing mirror for UNDER £80 - I got that ridiculous quote from someone in Birkenhead! :rolleyes:

lol
Spacers
lol
Lol, I think the Cossie rims would make it look too much like a roller skate, plus the Escort Cosworth 5 spokes are 16's
Those escort gti wheels will go on nicely
If youre going to lower it, you can bag a genuine ford racing suspension kit for about 150quid. It'll lower it about 30mm which will look well sexy with the wheels.
I'll show you mine when i get it back from the bodyshop!
Looking good vicky, looks exactly like the one i saw parked on Adam's drive the other day but you fooled me ya sod lol
Bet your made up to get a car that you have wanted for ages
very nice vicky, i've been lookin at a silver KA myself! we cant go car shoppin together anymore
i dont usually like red cars but that looks really nice!!
Yeh escort gti wheels all the way!
My GF has just got a brand new KA and shes called it "Dinky" (the KA!!!) hehehe! Quite suits the car i think!
Car looks cool with the tints, should do that first, its easy and cheap, great to see another cruise loon out and about.
thanx for pickin me up lastnite vik
this car is so sweet an very big inside too.
ur car is sooooo nice. thanx gain for a great nite xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks to everyone for lovely comments
I like my car too net!
It is bigger than you would think inside!
Last week I washed it and MisterAdam debadged the back for me...
On Sunday Me, MisterAdam and Lazy Ben did some modifying on my car.....
BEFORE ^With Orange side repeaters
AFTERWith Clear/White side repeaters
I really think it looks a lot nicer with the new ones! What does everyone else think?
As for up and coming mods, I am getting some tints soon. Got quoted £90 for the back. £150 for all round. That was from Vinyl Graphics
very nice vicky, defo looks better wiv clear side repeaters and im luvin the bk de badged!! xxx
Cheers hun!
Love these lights.....
what you think of them?
wow, they r sweet, i luv that yellow colour too lol!
u should definatly get them lights chick !! xx
side repeaters look a lot better
lets see your gear knob lol!
Side repeaters look better than I thought clear ones would tbh
Was gonna suggest colour coding them to red
Lookin at that de-badged boot I cant help but think how sweet it'd look fullyy smoothed!
Lookin good vicks. Smoothed boot looks good, are u gonna take it all the way? side reps look nice. Them quads are good but u can get a better set which are more like hex's (6 piece) Kaka poopoo looks lovely vic
I love it, little Vicki not knowing allot about cars and the nice little suttle mods coming along nicely
Nice little motor that like it.

Thats all thanks to Adam!
I just recently got some UV Lights in my footwells. they are really smart
(Free in REDLINE!) - You can soooo tell I'm MIsterAdams girlfriend!
I don't know why it looks blue in these pics.....but you can see at the meet tonight if I come in my car!
lights look cool and them morretes are hard as fook! scare most cares off the road and u can just (slowly) cruise on past
looks swell hun you have a good car there hun the sutle mods
keep us updated
looks lovely hun keep it up
Thats one sweet exhaust you have picked for your new little baby
Looks perfect and sounds so so sweet for a little KA
Get some pictures up of the exhaust on the car hunny
Vicky, i take it u cant see the blue of the UV light unless theres white stuff in the foorwell. I had a pait of blac lights under my dash but i could hardly ever see anythin as i dont have white shoes, so i took em back. U on the otherhand have lovely shoes so they light uip well.I think the camera shows the blueness because it can detect the colour. The human eye however cant detect colours at this frequency so u cant see a glow.Look lovely tho vickster. And u have an exhaust?!
Vik, told ya last night, zorst looks and sounds so sweet!
Likin it very mucho
Lovin the way your goin with ya car Vik. Exhaust looks great.
Looks cool. Agree with stubbzy, if you keep going like this you'll end up with one helluva sweet car!
looks nice that vick good goin, i new you were gettin one but didnt think itd be this soon!
its gettin better all the time vicki, im glad your happy with it an the exhaust sounds an looks fantastic!
Got a ride and a lengthy sit in it last night and i'm impressed vixster, lovin it already
Love the car vicky, well sweet. The new exhaust is well smart and suits the car.
Lookin good
Get it lowered and get some gti wheels next! Will look super sexy then
I know ben!!! Please please everyone if you hear of someone selling some, please get in touch!
First time i really seen your car today Vicky, lookin nice. And gotta say i was surprised at the sound of it .... very sweet
lookin very nice vicky, cant wait to c it hun! xx
Most recent mods Tinted windows! Limo black on the rear. Very hard for me at the moment to drive and park in the dark in areas that aren't lit up properly!
BUT I will get used to it!
New Grille!I love this new grille. Got it from Demon Tweeks. Just changes the whole appearance of the front of the car I think.
Woo! All these subtle mods are coming along great! What do you all think?
NEXT MOD (HOPEFULLY)15" OZ Racing Hyrda Alloy Wheels
Again, what do you think of these......?
Got to say very nice, got a great little car there. The mods are looking really good and the wheels should look great on the car.
Your car looks fab vick, you not intrested in my wheels *wink* only messing. new wheels will look great. im so jelous.
Lookin good Vicky
Just two???
The windows look super pimpoid there vick. Grill is nice and does give it a look that seerates it from the standard ford puppies. Wheels are well sweet. They will appear more aggresive than the GTi rims and will definately suit her down to the ground
Ever thought of gettin the front door glass tinted to legal limits. It aint much but it helps stop the sun from hurtin ur face and as it is i think it looks odd but good.
Cheers for the comments people!
love your lil car vicky keep it up
def go for the 4 wheels especially if you got road legal tyres on them
you looking at buying them new, with a tyre package, cos it might me worth while upgrading to a better tyre, i didnt and after 6 months the tyres wore down and well i had to remove them for the mot
Whoop whoop!
Lookin Good Vicky! Keep it up chick
Yer go for the best tyres you can afford, and make sure you can afford to replace the tyres when it comes to them getting low, or you'll have to drive round with steelies on the front till you get new ones, which'll look pretty stupid
get them vick, they will look REALLY good and suit it really well
Originally posted by aceritz:

usually when you buy wheels, with or without tyres you get new ones when they are put on so i dont understand what thats all about
i will go for those wheels. i have been decided on these for two weeks now
that doesnt matter. What does matter is what tires come on the wheels. Chances are u will get silverstones or some other poo brand. Dependin on how hard ur gonna drive the car and how low ur gonna take it will affect ur choice of tire. In the beggining for shrek yokos were good but near the end i discovered yokos wore too fast(cos theyre a soft grippy rubber) so i got nexens which are harder and last slightly longer with a little bit less grip. When are u ever gonna test ur tires to the limit on the wirral? bridgestones are good for hard lasting tires tho
Its worth investing in a good set of rubber as its what keeps you on the road. A set of softer rubber tyres will last you longer than the likes of Scoop who does a lot of miles to and from Scotland, so it might still be worth getting some soft compound ones as they wont wear as quick
Soft ones wud last u a year i think vicky wheras soft ones lastest me 4 months. Hard ones however wud last u well over 12 months. All depends on your budget. How safe u wanna be and how much ur gonna drive the car. Its funny cos i was literally meltin my yokos. 200 of the 300 miles at 100MPH+ was not good for them
My continentals have lasted well, and the grip they offer is superb.
Yeah continentals, goodyears and bridgestones tend to be the longest lasting tyres, all really good makes too. I'd say Toyos will suit what you're gonna do vic, imo they offer the best handling for the price too.
Car looks really smart with the tints and grill, can't wait to see it with the alloys on and lowered.
Got any pics of your new wheels ?
What's new since the last update?
show everyone your front and behind
Looking fab vix
Its in need of a good uh uhhh uhhhhhh
how much were ya headlights vicky??
Any pics? Last time i seen it it was lookin fab

i got my headlights for 150 - RRP 250
anyone wants to see my car, and I will be out at the rock most nights with evo babe etc..... and occasionally at the cw meets.
i dont have appropriate pics at the mo!
Ermm, I didnt want that picture up there??
