newbies new ride

Postby DjDane on March 15th, 2010, 9:23 am

hi,thought i would stick a couple of pics on of my new ride.
i dont know much about these so bare with me.

its a 2l estate on an X plate (mk2 i think)
comes with lots of goodies compared to my old escort which i had to fit afterwards, eg ; heated front screen,electric and heated mirrors,A/C etc. even the basic stuff of front fogs,electric seats and interior delay light i had to fit to my old one :cry:

all standard atm but looking to make a couple of changes (im under strict orders from the mrs not to go too mad :( lol )

i will be looking for a few ideas so please submit your suggestions to help me along ;)

already changed the side repeaters for my smoked ones of the escort and fitted in the driver and passenger laguna sunglasses holders (she hasnt noticed these yet so bit by bit i will do :lol: )

anyway im looking at dropping it a little bit as it appears to be on stilts atm :( and would like to fit a nice back box on from the escort if its possible (think i have to modify the bumper slightly)

i will be looking for half/full leather interior, a change in headlights (angel eyes if they do them for a mondeo) and subtle bodykit

ive had it 4 days now and the guy wanted £800 which i thought was a bargain :D then i managed to get him down to £725 ;)
FSH with stamped book,every MOT certificate,receipts for all work carried out (inc recent cam belt change) oh and the number plate (DDF) are my initials so it was meant to be :D

this is my blank canvas.........

the only blemish on the exterior is on the front bumper which will be an easy fix and there is no rust on the arches 8-)

comments and advice always welcome (be nice tho ;) )

done a couple of cosmetic bits today which were annoying me.

firstly there was this horrible black strip between the front and rear doors which was faded and stretching........ not a nice sight :(

i took a bit of a gamble as i didnt know what lay underneath so out came the hairdryer :D

Image

Image

luckily enough after a lot of elbow grease i revealed the following :D

Image

well happy with that.

decided i had to tidy up the alloys and centre caps as the badges had peeled bad and i had 2 newer alloys to fit

Image

Image

looks a lot tidier now :D
