Can someone list the differences between 88 + 90 spec
As above! 
Ideally would like a pic of a 90 spec front bumper, and an 88 spec one. Aswell as any other differences, cheers

Pre 90 spec interior looks nicer imo.
90 spec has a handbrake surround with a coin tray, intermitant switch for wipers, electric mirrors(the E plate RS I had dindt have electric mirrors anyhow) 90spec one does. Thats all I can think of internaly.

88 spec front
90 spec front
88 spec rear
90 spec rear
90 spec cars started in late 1989, so some F reg ones are 90 spec, some are 88 spec.
Not sure about the interior differences, but you can see the outside ones. 90 spec is definitely better

As I was aware, could you buy an 88 spec with or without the custom pack? which meant electric mirrors etc were an option, but 90 spec cars had the custom pack as standard? With the only option basically being the fuel computer?
An '88 Spec shell has a shallower inner wing profile than the '90 Spec. So, the '90 Spec has a deeper head tank. That's the best way of telling a proper '90 Spec car as most other bits can be retro-fitted.

the 90 spec also had a different boot sticker, the ESCORT and RS was a outline, where as the 88 spec was solid writing.
Also on the engine, the 90 spec had the longer arm one side on the crossover pipe.

Fuel computers I think are a waste of time! Is anyone's still working?

My car is a 89 F.
It didnt come with a front bumper or spoiler, but it does have heated front windscreen, electric windows and a manual sunroof.
Does that make it a 90 spec?
It has a rear bumper as can be seen in this pic..
