Default Lower Splitters for 88 spec Bumpers

Years ago you used to be able to buy from Ford a lower splitter/skirt that attached to 88 spec bumpers.

I've seen them on a few cars and I was wondering where I could get one or a decent copy item?

Search for the RS Accessory kit mate, I did have a copy fibreglass splitter of one of these but flogged it years ago, not seen one since!

Its not a Saxo/Corsa/Nova/106!!!!

No offence meant to anyone as everyone has different ideas…..but I just don’t understand why people want to stick loads of bits of plastic on an old Mk3/4 escort in an attempt to make it look better. It’s a 15/20 year old Ford its never gonna look cool/good!

Standard body is the way to go imo!! Old skool cool!

Whether Ford make it or Carlton Automotive …..its still a bit of plastic stuck on the front of your car in an attempt to make it look better Standard body all the way imo…RS’s aren’t built to look good they are about performance!!


Like I say though each to there own....be a boring world if everyone had the same ideas

Like this you mean? (Although it has the renault splitter as well)



Nothing wrong with the look of that in my eyes.

I have a fibrglass copy if you was interested mate, also have the whole bodykit too.
