hello hase any1 got bonnet spacers if so did they make any difference or you do it just 4 the look?

 

I have some on my series 2 and it makes a bit of a diffrence (mostly on the motorway due to higher speeds) they are a good idea as i think you can never have enough cooling mods on a RST but its not a huge diffrence but every little bit add's up plus it looks good

On the downside you can smell the engine more as the bonnet is lifted.

 

and the other downside is theamount of times some idiot says "Excuse me, did you know your bonnet's open?" GRRRR!!

Since when has an escorts bonnet opened up from the rear???!

 

+1 on that!!! my old man woke me up one morning saying did you know your bonnets open? pmsl!!

 

I had that friday one of the lads in the yard shouted it out

 

hahaha bet it would get on your nerves after a bit lol. but am still thinking bout getting them which are best to go for or is it just personal preference. there are some on ebay for under Ł10

 

Dont go for the thin tube ones... go for the solid blocks.

Here's mine:



Pics taken a while ago. The good things also with the blocks is that in winter/colder months, you can just remove them and then lay them on top of the bonnet hinge fixing so the bonnet closes fully... then when you open the bonnet, you can still see them! Better than taking them off and losing them in ya garage or wherever

 

ok nice 1 mate where you get them 1's from never seen them wid rs on em!!!

 

Came with a batch of chrome i bought on ebay, so I have no idea sorry.

Thanks Andy

What ones you got Dave? The Ford Racing or RS ones..

 

they look good but like peeps said you get the idiots and also if you got lots of chrome in gets damper etc there not a good idea in this weather as it pisses in when it rains etc and as its where it would normally rust anyway lol

i had a set on mine ended up taking them of in the end lol

also tried the gas struts but in the end reverted back to the standard look lol
