theres something about the back end that doesnt look right, its definetly another colour as the front, maybe the wrong shade

yes i think you will find its the light mate remember imperial is a pearl and will flip in different lights , also the back end may look a touch odd but i wanted it delocked my own choice i like it tbh alot of people may moan but its wot i wanted done for safety... also many people think you shouldn't mod the car leave things std but taking the locks out is like sticking a exhaust or d/v on still taking it away frm std just in a different way

never even noticed the lock has gone lol, think thats why it looked strange. if they want in the boot its quicker to smash a window and press the button surely. would make me think the car as been broken into if i went to buy a car and the lock had been removed.

yes the best thing is if they do break a window the alarm is raised hence the reason for removal i'm just being over secure but we all should be with cars like this

I have to agree about the badges! I know it's good to be different sometimes but the badges just look wrong somehow

after checking many cossie pics everyone puts them in different places i think they are slighty out of place but i am missing the rs badge at the mo as my mate mislaid it after painting but we'll find it and put it nxt to the escort badge

Back end deffo needs the correct badges in the right places, de-locking is a good idea, some arsehole jammed a screwdriver into the bootlock of my old mk5 rs2000. i had that delocked when it was repaired.

unfortunatly we weren't sure where the badges went as some tugger moved them all and when i browed the net everyone outs them everywhere too so i was confused and i thought i put them in the correct place... sorry

so just for the record if someone can set me right with a factory rear pic wud be helpful...

as for the rep's i have alredy said i have clear oval ones on order as i have to say the square clear ones i am disgusted at the quality they fill with moss and mud , where as the oval ones wont...

not all small turbos, only the facelift (usually with both airbags IIRC) have the ford badge in the centre, escort rs on the left, on the line above the light and the cosworth in line with that on the right hand side....
