Posted By: Dazza Been offered a swap - 23rd Oct 2005 12:33pm
As title, on my BLUE fiesta SI not my 2.0 black baby. Iv been trying to get rid of it and found this car, TAKE TIME TO LOOK AT IT as it does look a bit chavtastic at first bcos of the wing stickers etc

Its a Ford Escort Mk6,
1.4 (Insurance Friendly),
5 Door frown hate them but not to big a concern,
Just had another 1.4 put in,
Full WRC kit done propley,
Recently resprayed in Imperialblue (Esc cos colour),
17" alloys.

The plan was to get a runner-round but due to money mishaps it may have to be a swap/PX with another car hence why I seen this.

When I was 'into' my escorts i wanted a WRC replica, also am no shy hand to the 'scorts' as I am still a paid member on the Escort owners website.

personally, if you think its a good deal then do it, but like you said, just take all the stickers off and maybe the fog lights at the front and will look nice, i like the wing, its big but thats what makes it look like a WRC

---------------------------
Forget the wing stickers,
i'm still trying to come to terms with the strips.

Not my cuppa that's all.

With out those white stickers from tip to toe
you might be half way there.

Causion : Lots of Tee Cutting if they come off.
That's if the paint stays put.

Car looks alright, just the clothes its wearing.

Undecided, just cant say yey or nay...

What your adding them to it Dazza happy
I love the way car is now and those stripes are fantastic and the wing for one minute i thought it was a rally car, never mind thinking about buying it get your ass down wherever he lives and pay the man in cash full!
Posted By: Dazza Re: Been offered a swap - 23rd Oct 2005 1:29pm
I love your comments Al smile
Thats ment to be bin the neons and wipers tease

Posted By: AL Re: Been offered a swap - 23rd Oct 2005 1:30pm
Go now ill take it you if you dont have it id love it!
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Been offered a swap - 24th Oct 2005 10:21am
Thats barry as you like eek

But, it doesnt remind me of a rally car in the slightest, just because its got a bumper and a "massif" spoiler i wouldn't try and pass it off as a 5 door, its got m3 mirrors! I think he's offering you his car as a swap mate simply because no-one wants to buy that car off him.

I'd keep the fiesta thumbsup

dazza if you like it go for it lad or at least get down to birmingham and get better look at it and check 4 any potential probs
Posted By: AX_125 Re: Been offered a swap - 24th Oct 2005 11:39am
I think it looks hideous, and would attract attention for all the wrong reasons.
Posted By: Dazza Re: Been offered a swap - 24th Oct 2005 1:11pm
Well rather than pull it apart I wanted people to conisider it for me.

Bare in mind thats how i wanted/got my escort to look so i obviously like it, iv already said its abit 'chavtastic' but nothing that can be removed such as stickers and neons.

Maybe I should re-tell my plans:

Am after a CHEAP RUN-A-ROUND and save the 2.0 fiesta for special days. I cant buy a cheap car since i already have two, both being Fiesta SI's one is black (2.0) and the other is Blue. I have found it hard to try and sell the blue one plus its aproching that time of year where car sales are poor. I seen this escort and it caught my eye, hes willing to swap and i wanted some thoughts - If i wanted 2 pull it apart I could have done that myself smile

Longstory short, its a cheap runaround that looks good, I can have soon since I am gettin rid of blue car as a swap.

i think it looks good mate & suits ya plan. go for it. at the end of the day it'll be you driving it!

Very nice in all fairness less the chavtastic features, you swaying towards the swap then?
Posted By: Matty GTI Re: Been offered a swap - 25th Oct 2005 4:49pm
go 4 it matey
Posted By: Dazza Re: Been offered a swap - 25th Oct 2005 5:16pm
Am talking to the guy, looks like it will be happening this weekend smile

Like I say I was only after a run-a-round as I didnt plan on using the fiesta daily, no one really wants a modded car so this may be the best id get.

I like it smile and if 1yr down the line I get bored ill throw a 1.6turbo into, with it being a 1.4PTE engine (very similar toa CVH) its not too bad a conversion THIS WOULD BE FUTURE PLANS, IF I WAS TO DO IT
Posted By: Gary Re: Been offered a swap - 25th Oct 2005 5:53pm
if its for a run around etc then it fits the bill, but on your comment of it looking good, mate..... well er............. it doesnt

I reckon it'd look better in the flesh. Do the obvious to it though. Think the colour looks nice and bodykit good. I say do it.

Posted By: CorsaJohn Re: Been offered a swap - 26th Oct 2005 10:44pm
5 door so what bit diff! spray job =possibly poop but check it out 1st, fiestas got a bad paint job so no diff there, 90% of cars can luk gud or be changed an tweeted to luk respectable in the rite persons hands,

im not sayin yes or no! just do what u want

ps. every1s forgettin this is his run around, ie his shit car, the guy with the corsa b 2.0 turbo drives an astra

this sacrifses hav to b made if u cant afford to hav ur 1st choice car as an everyday car
Posted By: Sanchez Re: Been offered a swap - 26th Oct 2005 10:45pm
junk, stay away
Posted By: DavidB Re: Been offered a swap - 26th Oct 2005 10:53pm
If you don't want 5 door, just put a bit of filler in the cracks, spray over and there you have it. smack

That paint spray on the ground looks like the shape of the bonnet.
