Herr Doktor Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Posted August 23, 2016 Is yours a 3lt V6 by the way? Yes. It's a 3100 Essex V6 I was thinking a much darker red. Bordering on a deep burgundy This is all black but has silver wheels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SstpuDJe-LE Again, all black with silver wheels and window edging. I like the blacked out windows too. Is it "Cos I is a gangsta?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ezzlc5xFqc 1
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted August 23, 2016 Moderator Report Posted August 23, 2016 Yes. It's a 3100 Essex V6 The deep red stripe on a black car may be most applicable. Dark brooding and mysterious and ready to spill blood!
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted August 23, 2016 Moderator Report Posted August 23, 2016 God that interiors bad..... It probably ranks as the most hideous interior I have ever seen on an Escort!
meXEco Posted August 23, 2016 Report Posted August 23, 2016 Gotta agree there-and with a twink motor too sacrilege!
Herr Doktor Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Posted August 23, 2016 You've got to be fully commited to make an interior that bad. Or, is it, he should be fully commited for making an interior that bad? 1
DT36 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Posted August 23, 2016 My Betty is into design etc and she says that Black is a universal colour, that combines best with Orange, Pink, Salad Green, Red, Mauve or Yellow. I do not question her on such matters as colour, as I find to my own peril when I sometimes come down the stairs after dressing myself... 1

I save on the beatings, and just add to a conversation # would you like to get my clothes out dear 1
Ray Posted August 23, 2016 Report Posted August 23, 2016 personally, i would leave the stripe off, and go with that chrome and blacked out window theme, it does gel
RWL81P Posted August 23, 2016 Report Posted August 23, 2016 personally i'd rip the chrome window trim off, drop the arse 1.5 inch and bin the wheels in favour of 7x13 superlights. will look stunning!
Herr Doktor Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Posted August 23, 2016 personally, i would leave the stripe off, and go with that chrome and blacked out window theme, it does gel I really like that too tbh. personally i'd rip the chrome window trim off, drop the arse 1.5 inch and bin the wheels in favour of 7x13 superlights. will look stunning! That's what I've got already although the wheels have satin black centres
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted August 24, 2016 Moderator Report Posted August 24, 2016 Im definitely in favour of the stripe (just not black) and think a contrasting colour like the deep red you were considering to be a great choice but more so Apache Escorts are so rare that most dont know what they are and the stripe will tell those that know what it is and get those that dont to ask the question, what is it?
RWL81P Posted August 24, 2016 Report Posted August 24, 2016 I really like that too tbh. That's what I've got already although the wheels have satin black centres theyre 7x13s? they look bigger on the pic, maybe its the black that makes them look bigger. my mates got some white ones on his arched mk2, looks swank. he's just put some silver ones on with better tyres and it looks a million times better.
Herr Doktor Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Posted August 25, 2016 So, I went with "sticker man's" initial idea of matt black as he thought it would contrast well with the high gloss black finish. Plus if I didn't like it he would redo it for free in a different colour of my choosing I've tinted the rear windows, I'll do the front ones this weekend. [Taking care not to violate this rule: Motor Vehicles first used before 1 April 1985: The windscreen and front side windows must allow at least 70% of light to be transmitted through them]. Honest Guvnor! Chrome window trim is also going on this weekend http://vid88.photobucket.com/albums/k180/WarrenOrgan/Apache/IMG_0922.mp4 http://vid88.photobucket.com/albums/k180/WarrenOrgan/Apache/IMG_0924.mp4 http://vid88.photobucket.com/albums/k180/WarrenOrgan/Apache/IMG_0926.mp4 http://vid88.photobucket.com/albums/k180/WarrenOrgan/Apache/IMG_0920.mp4 http://vid88.photobucket.com/albums/k180/WarrenOrgan/Apache/IMG_0923.mp4 Do I like it? Better than plain black that's for sure and in extreme sun the matt does indeed break up the swathes of gloss black. The jury is out until I see the finished article
RWL81P Posted August 25, 2016 Report Posted August 25, 2016 That pics not his car. ah ok, thats why it looks like bigger wheels then.
