Well I'm back from Tenerife and now I've got to really concentrate on getting the car sorted for it's MOT, hope it passes. We'll see... :lol:

Also I'm getting a Mk4 bumper smoothed and sprayed for the rear to look decent. Dunno what skirts to get? I'd love the RS Accessory ones but there hard to find. Maybe Zetec S ones? Hmmm :-?

I've thought about them but I dunno if they'd suit it. Plus wouldn't I have to get the crappy eBay ones? Because the Escort ones have to be cut down to size, don't they?

It did :( They don't quite line up with the angle of the bumper but they do look good. I was going to play about with the skirts to get them to fit to the bumpers flush.

I might have to get Rs skirts and arches. They seem like the only good option. But will the front arches line up with the front Rs bumper? I don't want to make it look odd lol

Turns out I'm not going Fordfair now as no one wants to join me. The car wasn't ready anyway... Still looks odd.

Plans for this month:

- MOT
- Cut rear springs
- New G-Max shocks
- Fiesta Mk4 rear bumper smoothed swage line aswell as tow eye cover. Then sprayed up!
- RST arches n' skirts fitted when I buy a set

I want to do something to the roof aswell... Dunno what though? Carbon fibre was one of my ideas but I'm still unsure on that... Any ideas? Something different and wacky? LOL! :lol:

On the bumper ideally otherwise you're going to land yourself a fine!

Cars looking good though, will look a lot better with the arches and skirts though
