Looks great that, starting to really feel the love for these shape Escorts now and seriously starting to look for a sporting one! Oh, and I'm with you on the bumpers, they look excellent in black.

Keep the bumpers black . It looks spot on.
Just needs something in the bumper insert perhaps a gloss black strip instead of a coloured one.
I'd perhaps go zetec with it for a nice bit of sleeper

Literally just read your post on mk4 Escort owners club page on Facebook. Leave the bumpers black mate, I've just painted mine black from gunmetal and I'm much happier with them. Base spec escorts are awesome! Did the wheels come with the car? they look epic. Lovely motor mate.

I've a funny feeling I nearly bought this car back in 2005ish from Orpington. Was standard back then, complete with white wheel trims.

Looking good, what model is it? Bumpers have come up well. I also really like those wheels.
If you do decide to look into the Zetec route there's some info on my website (link in sig). My Mk3 Escort is attempting to get it's first MoT certificate in over a decade today...

Love it mate, great to see more love for the base spec mk4 Escorts
My very first car was a silver 2 door Bonus (G191 OSH) and loved it to pieces. Blew up the crossflow and fitted a 1600 CVH, felt ridiculously fast compared to the 1.1! My brother found it in a bad way a few years later and put all the good bits into his black Bonus.
15 years on, I still have a base model mk4 as one of my toys. Had her 7 years now and she is part of the family!
