mate if i was u i would keep the std 1 on, my project cabby came with escos style fr and rear bumpers but i have replaced them with std rs turbo (88 spec fr bumper) and a rs rear bumper (not shown in pics)







it may be personal taste but i really prefer it now with the 88 spec bumper and badboy bonnet. just ignor the various colours

That actually quite tasteful, whats the Mk3 front end and Mk4 archkit and sideskirts?

Take it you had a feature done on it, any more pics!? Good choice of wheels btw!

Cossie bumper only look right on Cossie's. Put them on anything else and they usually look shite. Few exceptions being Paul Johnson, Sunny and Ian Howells Fiesta's

I bought the car like that, well i swapped my saff cossie for it. it was featured just before i got it in performace ford. it was a Mk3 XR3 to start with, with a full mk4 conversion. apart from the front end. it had all mk4 arches and rear lights etc. running a nice 1.9 turbo CVH.
i haven`t got anymore pics of it, im gutted i never took any
