i'm sure that's a mk7 i'v a mk5, n mk6's don't have the bubble front but do have the extra bit on the rear light, n tbh mate find your locall scrappy there should be load's in there n cheap usually an original ford item and no postage or chance of damaged good's or gettin wripped off, i bumped mine n saved myself about £150 goin to the scrappy instead

cheers lads, i did find a site that had the differences of the mk's grille's, but can't find it now, thats how i'm unsure what mk it is.

it'll be ebay or the scrappy's, also need a bumper, but i'll have to get a quote first to fix/replace it, as the other folk will be getting a bill!

in UK it's referred to as mk6, but the rest of Europe calls it a mk7. Plenty in scrappys.

Does it matter what mk it is? we can see that the rear lights are from a mk6, so just get some from another escort where the lights are the same, or from another mk6

that was my point, i wasn't sure if there was a difference with the different mk's lights, no point in buying a mk5 and there was a slight difference with the light.
