That's really, really cool. Excellent wheel/cap choice, what did they start life on?

That is a lovely Escort mate!!
It's amazing how much difference just lowering and having a wheel change can make.
How much have you lowered it by?
And what size are the steelies?

That's really, really cool. Excellent wheel/cap choice, what did they start life on? They are the original escort steels banded to 7j and the caps are mk6 escort van caps |

Very nice.
The estate is much more aesthetically pleasing than the hatch.
