Default My Sisters ESCORT COSWORTH REPLICA.

She has been carting around in a 1.0 fiesta for 6 months since she came to live in london with me from Finland.

She is only 18 and it is murder trying to get her affordable insurance
My Sister loves my Escos but she cant afford to buy one or insure one.
So we have finished this now.

I think it looks quite good, The body kit is a ESP one and has been done properly and had a respray in Imperial Blue. Only has 15'' alloys on it at the moment but thats soon to change. Also bigger brakes going on and will do a rear disk conversion. She is now saving to put a RST engine in it now.

I wish i had one when i was 18 instead of my old rusty Opel Kadet.

I know there are people on here that do not like Replicas, but meh.









As you can see the wheels sit in the centre of the arches unlike most replicas, All thats needed now is bigger wheels and some spacers.

What do you think????

i will do some pics of it with my monte for a comparison.

Also, If anyone knows of any alloys going for under £200 let me know?

Do you think Mondeo Zetec, sort of cossie style ones will look good on it?

But this can't be cheap to insure either ?

Have you informed the insurance company it has the bodykit fitted ?

Your insurance will be invalid if you don't.

Looks a smart rep to be fair, least its all been painted and put 2gether properly...

But i woudl seriously wait on a set of proper Es Cos rims, be ideal to find some that have been on a saph cossie as the tyre sixe will be ideal.

For spacers, look up hubcentric. They are a little pricey but made to fit, instead of the shonky universal jobby's.

and last thing i would do, is get the splitter and hockey sticks plainted Satin Black.

Well we think Escos rims or multispokes are the only ones that will look decent on the car.

@ cossie4i - insurance company know of mods.

They would look great but I think they need to be 16" to look right.
