bigglesmk2 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 Hope nobody mind's me pinching pic's of their gorgeous car's [/img] [/img] Really likeing the four door no spoiler's look Just clean line's the right wheel's. So here's the idea,my car need's new arche's and the front wing's arent that great while im doing them,whip off the spoiler's get some ghia trim goin down the side of the body instead of tha insulation tape the previous owner put on and finally put my lotus steel's on then a re-paint in the same Modena green
bigglesmk2 Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Posted September 6, 2008 It's all down to personal preference,i used to prefer the spoiler look. After seeing such cool car's come out the woodwork dressed as Ford intended with addition of the right wheel's,im starting to feel the change. Wonderd what you lovely pep's thought
omj624p Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 I think the mk2 shape is complemented by adding a spoiler. It doesnt seem to look quite right without. But as you correctly pointed out, it's all down to personal taste. We cant all like the same things.
jamesg Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 thats a hard one, they good cool with and without
trakevlyn Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 mine is oh natural to and i have to confess i like them naked the same way i like my doris
surfingturnip Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 imo no spoiler looks really good with a vinyl roof and can look good without if the colours good. its more about breaking up the colour a bit for me
CrazyCharlie Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 i think they look good with nothing flush
emu Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 imo no spoiler looks really good with a vinyl roof and can look good without if the colours good. its more about breaking up the colour a bit for me Whereas I think they look better with spoilers. Especially with vinyl roofs too, because it carries the black on. Whip them off and see what you think really mate You might decide that YOURS doesnt look right without the spoilers, regardless of what you think of other peoples.
antz Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 i once bought a spoiler for my car. placed it on my bootlid to see what it looked like (Scrathed the lid ) then decided i couldnt drill the holes so sold it on. i prefer MINE without because itll just look stupid if i put one on with all the rest of the exterior standard. everyone has spoilers on theirs and i like to be different
DarrenM Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 That saggy droopy arse on a MK2 needs a spoiler.
shaun1.6ghia Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 here's my mk2... i'm going for both spoilers but just haven't put front one on yet. what do you think?
5hane Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 very nice, IMO black bumpers look better with, chrome look better without
petrolhead Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 Who's is the second one, the silver Ghia? I had to do a triple take, I thought it was mine!
bigglesmk2 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Posted September 7, 2008 here's my mk2...i'm going for both spoilers but just haven't put front one on yet. what do you think? Very nice too ,i notice you have a chrome rear bumper and a black front bumper,my car has it the other way around.If our car's ever meet maybe we could trade bumper's
bigglesmk2 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Posted September 7, 2008 Who's is the second one, the silver Ghia? I had to do a triple take, I thought it was mine! That would be Stretch Maybe i should ask the photoshop god's to work their magic on my car
Mad Mex Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 have to agree on no spoilers, couple of pics of mine courtesy of kieren on the way down to brighton.......have to ignore the black wings and front panel, only put em on week before L2B!
huxmk1estate Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 dont forget my old beige beast...... miss this car
D4N Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 Hmm was that car at knockhill speedfair last year think i seen it. If it was you we were doing the little rally event in the escort
Mad Mex Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 no not me buddy, tho only had it since october last year? wouldn`t mind ragging it about a rally stage but its a bit low
Mick The Cabbie Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 2 doors look good with spoilers IF they have no chrome etc and are along the RS/Sport/Rally theme. However, I've never been too keen on 4 doors with spoilers and spotlights and rally bits etc nailed to em. I deliberately went for a 4 door model because of the the look I wanted to create. It ain't an RS and never will be. The idea was for it to look retro, not repro. And when I decide to plant a loony Pinto between the inner wings, I'll have soooooo much more fun slaughtering Paxo's & Corsa's Sometimes, less is more!

Exactly! Don't go spoiling a nice car. Keep it as it is
bomber1 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 i like them with either both or neither hers mine b4 i sold it
DAZZA Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 Mk2 4 doors have nice lines, you only have to look thru this thred! much to fussy with spoilers.
