Changes the whole look of the car without it in my opinion. The big spoiler is the main trademark of the escos.

I remember reading a quote when they were first sold as an option with no whale
"its like lennox lewis in a dress, you still know its hard as fuck but somehow it just isnt right"

i dont know if the photos do it justice
a guy i used to live opposite to, had an escort rs cosworth (proper rear wing deleted) when it was new on a p-plate back in 96
looked hard as fook in the flesh
(he sold it and bought an impreza in 99,
and now drives an 05 fiesta
, often catch him checking out my saff when i am over visiting my parents

does not having the top wing allows more top speed?

That does look good mate but would look even better with the upper spoiler fitted
Its the upper spoiler that makes the escos stand out and if you dont have one fitted you need some
IMHO.

Have to say I hated Escos without the wing but now I thing it makes the car look hard as fook and also takes the boy racer look away from it. If mine ever goes back on the road then wing is going on Ebay!

Much better without the wing, makes the car more stealthy and less boy racer. Who cares if some one thinks it's a rep ? less likely to get stolen I would have thought.

I live in Germany & mine hasn't got the upper rear wing
There's a photo of it in the EsCos section, in the thread with the poll in it about the upper rears.
Seems either you love 'em or you hate 'em.
