Default Series Two Splitter on a standard Escort?

Hi guys, I looked at a picture of my escort and thought it looked quite plain, so I had thoughts of installing a Series 2 splitter.

Now they're plenty of Mk4 escorts round here and I want to be diffrent from the standard look, just little subtle mods.

I know that I have to cut the current lip off the bumper in order for the Series Two splitter to fit.

Just wandered what your views are on it.

Series 2 don't have splitters.

I'd leave your escort as it is IMO

Thought that had a little black splitter on? Removed one from an 88 spec bumper I have in the shed.

I guess my Fiesta shouldn't have had Sharktooths then? As it wasn't a Sapphire Cosworth 4x4?

There's no 'should' or 'shouldn't' about it, it's his car so he can fit it if he wants. It's up to him, not someone on the internet.
