Guest charlie74 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 hehe thanks,, although not much is original,, )))) nah its supposed to be a first car for the missus,, so staying reasonably standard for insurance reasons, its a calypso model,, so,, this is whats different ghia trim,, front grill, rear numberplate surround, wood dash and gearlever surround, has a focus ( i think) gearknob with the chrome ring, mk5b seats out of a limited edition solar with matching cover, ( she liked the funky pattern ) which i find much more comfortable than the horrible grey/black wingbacks that were there,, si or gti leather steering wheel, had a crappy foam type in it which had seperated also came with a 10 disc autochanger and sony xplode headunit,, which is supprisingly good,, 50w per channel and pretty bassy also has a stainless steel straight through pipe so no center box,, did have a peco back box but too loud for my taste,, so now has a standard one,, lot quieter and still has a nice tone to it,, plans are to replace the clutch,, as its about dead, and add a small amp for a sub,, then get a hello kitty logo on the back as the wifes decided to name her Kitty,, after that,, she can sort out anything else she wants herself ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest charlie74 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 thanks chaz n ollie,, yeah the colour is what sealed it,, its pretty solid underneath too,, the only other one ive seen the same was on here,, shame to think that its probably going to be a breaker in a couple of yrs after the missus has passed her test n bumped a few things,, but it was a bargain price and doesnt really own me anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort Cabriolet Club Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Looks tidy mate, the interior and Tonneau are not for me but looks a good solid motor mate !!! :icon_salut_gb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest charlie74 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 yeah agree on the interior,, but oddly suit the car in the flesh,, if it was mine id have gone for a light colour retrim ( funds allowing of course) but its alot fresher looking than the dull grey standard one she like it , and thats all that matters ,, keeps her happy and quiet ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
