Escort cosworth tailgate comes from a different pressing than standard tailgate. Where the top spoiler holes are drilled the box section is pressed flat during manufacture to allow the fixing nuts to sit flush against the panel. Standard tailgate has a box section there so when you drill through and tighten the nuts up the panel gets crushed.
Its quite a small difference to the eye but a crucial difference to the panel.
