I posted yesterday asking if there was a difference between the bottom ends and that got me thinking, which parts are different between 88 and 90 spec cars? i know nothing about 90 spec except for the recaros have a different pattern, lol. A bit of history or info would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

front bumper, rear spoiler changed, interior as u say, different sticker on the ecu

Not sure if the heated screen came as standard then

I think the rocker cover is different aswell

G or H letter on the number plate

 

The later cars also had variable intermitant wipe and an extended handbrake console.

 

thanks I assume that the charge carrier is different too then, as the 90 spec rocker cover has the mounts placed differently, was this done for a reason?

 

front bumper, rear spoiler, seats cards, head lining, ecu, every thing else is the same i think, o did come with heated screen and electic mirrors as well i think, but fuel computer was still an option i think

 

The Escort RS Turbo badge on the tailgate changed also slightly

 

Yep was an outline rather than solid text

 

Inner wings, header tank is different in shape
Windscreen washer bottle different
Dash clocks (fuel and water temp) were swapped over
Interior clock had 3 buttons instead of 2
Rear courtesey light in headlining

 

Heated screen standard.
Computer optional.
Dont forget the extend centre consol..
Front bumper
Rear sticker
Rear spoiler
Intermit washwipe
Rear curteosy light
Temp and fuel guage swopped

James, I will have to look at my washer bottle and my header tank and my clock - LOL
I know that the replacment washer bottle is different from mine cause my is round at the top and they come with an oval shape now LOL

 

Debby, Debbie - I dunno LOL

click this, tells you what changed and when....

 

 

H reg, i got the oval washer bottle top

 

No ones mention the easy release and newer style wiring plugs.

 

Have to admit, my S2 look's a bit strange, being the only K reg example, yes it is genuine, have owned it 7wks, and having 88 spec stuff fitted! Need to get my hands on some 90 spec stuff over the winter, while it's off road having some work done.

 

ST24Lad i'd leave it as is mate, if it came with earlier spec leave it and retain its unique value
