Default best looking escort cossie?

possibly controversial here on this board... but I do not generally like the look of the escort cossie, especially not when standard.

where as this one (a1 rallysports) looks thee dogs knob!!



anyone any other pictures of decent looking escossies? or what they would say was their best looking one?


daveescos - youve gotta admitt the WRC kit on this one makes all the diff

I'm sorry but that kit looks total shite. (Front bumper is way too fussy)

It could'nt look any more Lax flower if it tried.

I personally prefer the normal Escort Cosworth look.

I don't like the WRC kit, it looks like loads of bits that have been added on rather than a factory produced car.

Is this the engine with the IHI turbo running 2.7bar boost at 3000rpm or something similar?

Thanks - Sunny.

I just dont like the standard ones, and I cant stand the standard rear escos spoiler.
wish they would of put a 3 door type of one on.

it makes the car look jacked up at the back like a hotrod.

and the standard front bumper is on every mk4 escort, mk3 fiesta and even seen on pug 205s, devalued totally. where as the WRC with the oval grill, made the car look much harder and purposeful and more inline with the mk6 escort that was in production at the time.

WRC everyday of the week for me!!

PS - yeah sunny thats what the mag feature says along the lines of

looking at performance ford...neither the front and rear spoiler fit the car properly.

concours cars at the shows are the best your ever likely to see.

standard ecort probably one of the best looking cars ever made,especially with 18" rondell's or OZ super T's on. WRC kits are normally shite cos they are crappy fibreglass and put on by a monkey with a glue gun and painted with a catapult,
If you want to see an AWSOME looking WRC escort, look no further than Ian@raceteks, it is soooo well put together it is unbelivable, and that is coming from someone who HATES bodykits etc

dont know why everyone is so 'max power' about the WRC kit.

its fords own kit.

same as the cosworth spoiler etc... seen on many an xr3i... is that max power aswell??

that blue one is amazing from the pics ive seen... as gareth said wouldnt change a single thing.

COOOOL, that was the only thing that could have made it better. Surely THE best road Escos ever made as far as looks and mental spec (and I don't mean just BHP)

Very excited at having a nose over it and seeing it go at National day

Not a bad opinion mate.....if ya dont like em ya dont like em simple. Cant argue over that! Personally i think the one you have posted looks a cnut but there ya go

One of my fave 'looking' escos was Trevcos' Aubergine one. Others include M7 COS and Duncoss' and one of my favourites was a guy who used to come on here called Micheal Gellie. Scottish twat had a great red one
