why!!!!!!!!!!!! got to say i preffer the bigger ones on a large turbo. to me it distinguishes a LT to a ST.prefer the thought that folk think its a large turbo.went to croft the other day and there was a escos parked up, my mate said something about it and i said yeh its a large turbo model, he said how the fuck do you know that from over here. i replied it has large wing mirrors. he said stop talking shit how can you tell by that??
to me its like saying i want the new style rear badges, no chance. original is best but thats just imo.

Have to agree with you on the BT ones looking better, i always thought that about only BT cars had older style mirrors, filler cap as apposed to flap and the older style badging on tailgate, but as i have found out since owning my ST Escort that was registered on the 19-08-94, some of the early ST cars had BT mirrors and badging and the newer flap. I've just been chatting to a lady who has a one with same as mine, Ash black too funny enough, ford are strange sometimes with stuff like that, i went down the road of changing mirrors and badges a while ago but after buying them have changed my mind and going to keep it original.

I have a pair that are ready to be painted when the car gets painted... but still in 2 minds whether to put them on either, as i prefer the standard attributes of the larget turbo and the small turbo, they cam with big mirrors, so should stay with big mirrors like....

my small turbo also had the big mirrors, & old style badges.
i prefer the old badges but the new mirrors look sleeker
our escort gti has the smaller mirrors as standard & the frst has a set fitted aswell so i'm pretty used to them. Not as good vision as the big ones though.

imo, anyone who looks at an escort coswort is not going to look at the mirrors and think to themselves .....ooh look, its only a small turbo one.....there not as good as the big turbo ones......
they look well better imo and i could not give 2 fooks if people thought my car was a small turbo car.

my old esc cos was also a small turbo with the bt mirrors and early boot badges,i like both to be honest i dont think it matters,wotever you prefer the look of,i prefer to keep mine with the bt mirrors.
how many of you prefer the fuel cap on bt to the big flap on the small turbo?? but you cant swap that over
