That's because the Sierra wheelbase is longer than the Escort one so the wings are adjusted to compensate. That's why when you put cossy wongs on a normal Escort the wheel sit in the wrong place in the arches

The other big clue to a replica is the the way the rear quarter wings don't raise up to the edge of the lower rear spoiler

I'd be amazed if the engine ever warms up correctly with the vents that way round. Especially in the winter.

I suppose it's quite obvious really when you think of it but you learn something new every day

Depends on what kit is baught,as the kit on mine has the rear quarter risers and the front wheels sit perfect in the archers.
