IMHO it looks great as standard (ie unsmoothed). It's already a superb colour, and those minilites really suit it* especially as it's unusual to see them fitted to a Ford - they're also nicely dished too.
*And this is from someone who doesn't like minilites!!!

^ Bit late for that! It is looking good that lowered though, minilights to look good on it as theres so many with em on, those 13's look right, however i do like 15 inch Compomotive ML's. howabout a modern metalic burnt orange/brown colour...

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

I like the bronze.
I'd be tempted by a candy variant of that shade.

theres a similar colour to the escort in the recent ish nissan range , volvo do a nice one also. couple either of those with a roof painted candy apple green in the same sort of style as nightmares kadett and a bit of detailing and wheels like this golf, similar shade green to this golf also but with a lot more yellow mixed in. i really want a cool kandy paint job on my sigma, to hell with all this matt nonsence

I think you boys are right. It'll save a lot of hassle too. What colour would work well with the bronze for the roof then? Silver?

Keep allthe trim you can, and either paint it in the standard shade or in a metallic tangerine....perhaps with a black roof.

Gold roof would look smart. Car is the wrong shape and age for 15's. Never reallty go for escorts with big rims though Mk2's do suit them a bit better. Those 'lites will be hard to better. Maybe (and I know this is sacreligious) raise the back a tad to give it some stance.
