Looks spot on mate. Is it a G or H reg? because if it is you should go to ford and get the proper 90spec rear escort rs turbo decal, would finish off the original look nicely imo.

cheers for the comments guys, makes the hard work worth it! The ambers have grown on me, did look weird at first. With regards to the decal, the car is 88 reg, despite bumper/spoiler.

Cheers, Defo agree with a standard looking rs comment, hunterlaars' mercury grey looks mint and a perfect example.


In two minds about the wheels tho, still fancy changing them but not sure to what though

Ambers only look good if you still have the spot lights which you have and for the clears they look nice with or without the spots.
