Yes they are the same mate because you can fit the opening windows at a normal 3dr MK5 Escort so other way round won't be a problem too...

Ben, a guy has replied on my thread with the Fini's numbers for the rubbers.
ill pop into ford in the morning and get a price etc then give you a shout, may be easier if i just order 2 sets if they are cheap enough. (for me and you obviously)

my perspex im leaving to Danny to sort out.
