Yeomans22 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 i look at these photos the spot light just don't seem to work what do you all think? i think i s hould just got with a couple of smaller ones. Paul.
mk1mexico Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 Hmm, if they were clear glass i reckon they would be cool, however im not too sure on the Yellow
fezza_mat Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 have u tried only the top ones think it might look better
Posse Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 I not sure it looks like a french pimps motor I reckon go for clear glass and some nice covers?
jimbo Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 Nope..........If you we're going sideways through a Finnish forest, maybe. Try it without any at first (cheapest option) then see how you feel. If it were mine, well.......Your car looks lovely without the need for such whistles and bells
Yeomans22 Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Posted May 21, 2009 i thinking a pair of lights like these, i saw this orange car a few weeks ago as i got my quarter bumpers off the chap who owns it for £50 as they had brackets bolted on for spots. http://www.turbosport.co.uk/attachment. ... 1239658274 i think mine good from a distance but up clsoe it looks a bit of a mess.
Mick The Cabbie Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 I think given the colour of the car, It'd look better without spots. My opinion? Slam it hard on some 7inch rims and keep it clean & simple. Remove the rear spoiler and stick the original chrome bumpers back on! There's no need to always make an Escort into a rally replica to make it cool. You could appear guilty of trying too hard to make it look the part. Dare to be different. Remember, sometimes, less is more!
Yeomans22 Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Posted May 21, 2009 i've just been out and removed them, i like how they look but the rest of the car just doesn't work wth them. They will be on ebay very soon. im just going to go for a couple of smaller ones as the brackets are already on the bumpers, i am after some bigger wheels but they will need to be gold. Paul

Paul remove the brackets then & fill the holes..? Seven inch revolutions or minilights on 175/50's and a 2 inch drop should work well
GJUK Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 They look different. I don't dislike them though.
Yeomans22 Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Posted May 22, 2009 i do like them but i need decent brackets etc to make them look decent, and i think i prob need to bigger wheels to make it look better. in the mean time i will be taking off the lights and filling the holes in, i need to paint the rest of my chrome black and pull the other window chrome off, i have booked it in for an MOT on friday, its no where near ready for one, and i might have to cancel it, as i don't really have much time to get it ready either.
Mr Sam Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 im not feeling them just dont look right if you dont need them IMO
turnover Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 i think if you put a set of covers on and square no.plate and angle the bottom ones out to the side it will look good
Retromotorsport Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 If you want to be different and need some extra lights, what we used to do back in the time that fashion was forgotten was to inset two slim spots into the grill, but dont do it to that grill, use and oval Ford one. You cut the circles in the grill and get some thin 1/2 wide plastic from a modelling shop, trim the cut hole so you have a solid ring round it by bending the strip around it and glueing into place, fit the spot in the hole and et-viola, twin headlamps ..
