Apparently Carbon Delight are making a MK4 tailgate and 90 spec spoiler. I hope they are as I'd love a tailgate.

My mate Conor is also having a set of carbon fibre front wings made as well, so no doubt they will be available for sale also.

jonny, ive seen their mk3 ones but never a mk4? Carbon would be the way to go (original is heavy as ****), front wings sound good but what about attaching to front panel??

im more than sure they do mk4 jobbies too, forget who luca gets his carbon done by but im sure ive heard him mention boot lids etc....

i would think the wings get bolted on ste, which is prob better anyhow

Luca's carbon is done by Performance trim but they do Fiesta boot lids, mot Escort at present.

Carbon wings would be bolt on like Jano has on his MK4 Escort Cosworth.

not seen them on Janos. Sound pretty good I must admit, very tempting. No idea on availability yet on any of these?

I think both will take about 12-18 months to be in production, but dont quote me on that.

The rest of the kit would have to be carbon as well for me otherwise it just wouldn't be right....
