Default Escos tailgate

Anybody now if i can use a standar Escort tailgate on my Cosworth ?
I now it`s different part number, because of spoiler hole, but i don`t now if it`s different otherways. I have use edix an search after new ones, and it`s 3 Ford dealers ho have the one whit out big spoiler

Edix is a program that you can search after parts number on almost all Ford dealers in the world ho is connected to it, we have it on my work. But this 3 tailgates are so fare away from here, so if i now i can use a standar Escort one, it`s easier to get one. Mine have big wing

no they are different a proper escos tailgate has blanking caps where the lower spoiler fits and a flat section underneath where the top spoiler sits, this is so the bolt heads sit right and not on an angle

It`s a bit rusty, thats the reason i have to change it, and yes i will use upper and lower spoiler, or maybe a wrc one.
Some people say i can use a standar one, other say i can`t. If anybody have one used whit out rust, i am interested

You can use a normal escort tailgate fine, the only slight difference is where the spolier bolts on inside the tailgate. But that does NOT affect how the spolier sits at all. You'll get anal bufties that are able to say you've a non cosworth boot lid, but do you really care?

My mate used a normal one on his escort when he rebuilt it, jacko from here fitted the spolier and painted it, so may be worth PMing him?
