Re: Escort Surf bus
Its all in fun, i'll be the first to say the Estate is no show car......until its parked next to your mk2 and then it looks amazing!
If you want me to bring your mk4 into it jony, just say
Ive always wanted some wiiiiide wheels on it, so when my mate told me he was selling these i had to buy them.
On a serious note i was expecting it to drive awful due to the wheel width/ small stretch but its no different to on the 16's really, apart from the little scrub i got this morning, but as soon as the tyre knocked the filler off the arch lip it was fine

Radiant, remembering of course that the left of the photo is where the light is and that Ford didn't spray and lacquer the engine bay as well as everywhere else.

Very nice. Love it! Get some decent pictures of the front.
Wheels are spot on. Some one I know in Wales has them on his Mk1 Focus.

Re: Escort Surf bus
Bigger!? I think 17x8 is big enough for an Escort!
I would like to go lower but with it being daily driver I couldn't do with scrubbing and s**t.
Plus the speed bumps round my end are fairly big and it just goes over as it is!
