Default Ford Motorsport Bodykit, anyone know what i mean?

as the title says, if i was to say Ford Motorsport kit to fit a MK3 escort/MK1 Orion, would anyone have the slightest clue what im talking about?

Spoken to ENOUGH people at ford fairs and most think i mean a series 1 kit.

Im trying to bring back to life a bit of a legendary car, but i desperately need a new front valance as they like breaking being made of that nice HARD RIGID BRITTLE plastic (Nice one again Ford )

Anybody out there help me out as to where i could find one or anything?

Not so much as a sniff on ebay either

Seems to be unheard off other than in nasty BMW circles.

Think you might be on a looser.

Have you tried this mob - www.autofashion.co.uk

Of course it exsists, certainly no joke. - one of the classics.

Rare is not the word - persiverance is the name of the game i suppose

I know exactly what you mean,they came in black from Ford and had RS embossed on them,near the end of the side skirts if I remember them correctly.They are more chunky in shape as opposed to the more rounded/smoother look on the RST bodykit.However I havent seen them in over 18 years,sorry.Regards Micky

Yes mate, thats the badger, things get worse, i had my old one in pieces but it seems to of dissapeared? Think dad has been having a clear out I got pointed to a ford specialist who has informed me Ford Motorsport was a seperate entity, and now no longer exists, and a new one of these unobtainable.
