Escort Cosworth and Karmann ?
What exactly did Karmann have to do with the Ford RS Escort Cosworth, was it the initial styling, the build, production, manufacturer of panels / parts ?? Can anyone confirm 
and is this the same Karmann that produced / designed the Karmann Ghia VW ??

code name was ACE (not a lot of people know that
)

I have designed some stickers of my own. Have stuck one on the boot and some smaller ones on either side of the front wing just under the side repeater, all in silver. What do you think?? 
I'll put some pictures up of them on the car at a later date
