Default How F**KED OFF am I???

grrr, just drove to my mates house, and must have been driving for about 1 min when I swung round a corner, and found myself driving through a mini-flood, which must have happened due to it pissing down all night, and ripped my ENTIRE front bib spolier, lower front spolier and right side hockey stick off the front of my escos , the left hockey stick is a little bit damaged as well must have only been doing 20MPH, but its all fucked I'm sooooo fucked off, only had the car a few months as well , I recon that little lot to replace is going to be about £500 Any ideas if they are avaliable new from ford, or is it going to work out cheaper buying a carbon fibre set?

real tears

no probs i hope you win em

im in a dilemma,i don't own an Escort Cosworth yet
but my head and my heart says Genuine Escort Cosworth
but my brains takin' over about the availabilty of parts for them
and im thinkin of going the pennywise route because of mark 4 availabilty and it would be a sleeper and a half
if i know i can replace every part on an Escos bodywork and engine wise ,i'll go the Genuine Escos route

engines and running gear are not a problem, seems to be the niff naff bits like trim/ body panels etc that is getting hard to get

If you're going to go carbon, then get the Creative Carbon ones from Mike R.

The stone deflector is approx £115 (give or take V.A.T.) from Ford, if still available. At least the Ford one has some 'give' in it, being flexible (worth bearing in mind if you catch it everywhere)

get the creative carbon ones mate rather than the graham goode ones they are far superior in quality, they fit perfect as well. Mike Rainbird from R&B sells them on here at great prices......I have them judge for yourself!!
