I would say "no" mate coz they just flap about in the wind imo and as you say tarmac spec cars dont seem to have them ..............just get the those orange wing indicators and grp a mirrors on and its PERFECT

german tony

I'm going with "no" as well.

R5COS

Your off again with your helpful comments

Andy's car is a rally REP so its hardly going to throw crap up at a competitor behind him

Andy,

The only thing that lets the car down as a rep, is the exhaust. Cars of that age and type had a rear exit exhaust that turned downwards as it exited the rear bumper.

The mud flaps are moulded to the front wings and rear bumper, are these the type you have?

I personally woudn't put them on a road car as it means drilling the wings and bumper...

As is done on my rally car here...

Andy was on about getting a new exhaust if he got a Magnex the tailpipe is seperate so he could have one on the turn turned ones made and bolt it on

andysrs

Im convinced NO FLAPS, but new exhaust is on cards have approached tube torque to make a replica of the group A system from turbo back but with a silencer in lol

group a tarmac cars had site exit exhausts coming from drivers side only not twin. dont no if it was on all the group a cars but it looks great although it mite not be too practical for road use lol

They exhausts did come out of the right hand side, but the Monte winners were left hand drive!

They also had mudflaps pretty much all the time!! (in black so they were subtle-Wheel hugging ones though, not spaniels ears!!)

Get some proper wrap round flaps and it is perfect (though its pretty much there anyway IMO!!)

I am proper jealous!

Andy mate,

links here:

if the price gets up to more than £39.99 buy these ones

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-ESCORT-RS...QQcmdZViewItem

dont use the oval badge included in that set as it looks like the later style smaller one, you already got the right one on there

andysrs

Thanks Indy will do

c0ss1e9i6

I'll swap you! LOL



Will make my car look younger and yours look right (ish-spotters!! LOL)

And if anyone out there has a "Naff" looking side exit exhaust system, I'll swap that for my cat free Mongoose too!!!

Anyone??

indycos

Ha ha, yep the ones that point down are naff looking but on the works cars they seemed
to be on gravel spec cars imo.
