RS_Cosworth330 Yes indeed, my first escort cossie was black with those grilles and imo it looked tough.

just dont pay over the odds for them

if you get stuck and decide you want to replace the foglight ive got 2 sets sat in the work shop!

That's the look I'm hoping the grilles will give the car yes, Tough, so that's good to hear! I've ordered a pair of the replicas from 'Rapid-Ford' so £99 they're costing me which is about the average I understand is it?!
Yeah I'll definately be bearing you in mind for the Lamps aswell! Would you sell them individually or only in pairs?- How much would you be wanting?

Cheers for all the compliments people, much appreciated Mine's an Ash black version Ian and yeah I definately think that the twin h/lights help toughen up the front end look!

as it got the stone deflector missing off the front splitter. looks strange without it on. they look like oval side repeaters on the wings i personally dont like oval indicators on escos. im not slating the car because it looks well mint mate. just my opinion. i do like to see clear indicators in the bumper aswell. are the back lights standard? set of smoked ones would look sweet on a black escos very nice car. as it had any engine mods done?

Don't worry mate I agree with you on the side indicator's, the first job I did when I got the car was to order some new clear square one's so the oval's are infact no longer!! (the picture is on the day I bought it so I hadn't had chance to add any of my own touches!) The front indicator's I'm gonna leave orange for the mo to see what it looks like with the RS500 grilles in aswell! Don't get me wrong I agree that the clears do look smart, only thing is Everyone goes down that route! I think that the original's will give it a bit of contrast personally! Rear lights I will also have to agree with what your saying about the tinted version, I will at some point in the not so distant future be ordering myself a pair as it's just fitted with the standard one's at present!

Thanks for all the positive comments I'm getting people, I'm liking it I have just today replaced the front fogs with my new RS500 Grilles and I'm loving the new 'Meaner' look, suits the black paintwork brilliantly! I also ordered a pair of rear top tinted lights yesterday and they're due to arrive tomorrow so once I've got them fitted aswell I'll get some new pics up

Yeah I'll get some more photo's up shortly to show you all my new 500 Grilles and rear lights Spec is almost standard which is what I wanted, only thing's it has got are a Mongoose s/s exhaust with de-cat pipe, and Koni suspension all-round! Oh and of course like you can see from the top picture, it's got the twin headlights in aswell
