Hi everyone,

ive hered about a front splitter and rear defuser that where available as optional extras on ERST's back in the day, i think ive seen the splitter can anyone shed any more light on the defuser ? piks ect ...

thanks.

 

Think you mean the optional rs body kit ,it was just an add on to the rear bumper ,a lot of them where fitted to orions

 

just fitted a rear bumper accesory skirt on my rs looks lovely and mainly came on mk4 cabriolet

 

You cant say that with out pics lol

 

searched but cant find any, the are just dropskirts that fit to the bumpers
match the xr3i optional skirts very well but dont look right with a rst kit imo, billions of onions had em fitted but only the front will fit an escort obviously and even then the orion bumper will have been 'L' spec so not perfect fit without a tinker

 

I had my rear bumper done about 4 years ago I bought the rear defuser had it attached to the bumper but I didn't like all the lines it was showing in the middle of the bumper so I had that middle section all fibreglassed and it's been done so perfect you can't even tell there where two bumpers attached together, here's a few pictures mine.

 

looks sweet !

 

Does the front one have rs on it?

 

that rear bumper looks very nice mate

 

Ask mo oh im sure he had one on his car in one of the pics lol.

 

Yes mate I had the front Ford RS valance splitter custom fitted onto my 90 spec bumper as they were only designed to fit direct to the 88 spec bumper, you can just about see the Ford RS logo engraved in the bottom centre of the splitter here's a few pics of mine to show you.

 

The made 3 or 4 varients of the front skirt and 2 or 3 for the rear valance...
They made 1 for the escort rst 88spec front, 1 for the 90spec, 1 for the orion early bumpers and 1 for the later orion bumpers, they all look the same they just fit the bumpers differently and can be made to fit each diff bumper with relatively light mods. From memory the 90spec rst and orion fronts are the same, but not 100%.
They made 1 rear for the escort and 1 or 2 for the orion early and latter rear bumpers.

I think it works really well on the makaveli's car above, some cars seem to suit the deeper bumpers others don't... Keep your eye out on ebay if you're after 1, if not give me a pm as i may have a spare front 90spec.

 

I never knew that Rogeyboy.

 

Does anyone make these aftermarketly? Or is the best bet ebay

 

How much do these go for? I like maks look, il prob go the same way but with out the bad boy, planning a re shell at the mo

 

Far to chavvy, totally ruins the S2

 

not my taste either but each to there own

ive got a full genuine rs kit for the orion in my garage, ive even got those spat things that go on the rear doors. not going on mine though

 

They are not for me either but must admit maks one look awesome even with the bonnet

 

I had to buy mine on Ebay which did took me ages to find, by the way thanks for your comment Jamie.

 

Ok Mate I will keep an eye out, cheers

Anyone got pics of where the bumper meets the arches, I know they stick out a bit further than the bumper but this is what i want as i have flared my arches on my YB RWD project. I need to see by how much though.




Cheers

mine only on front real one got front and back copys in the garage that could be for sale

 

Love this pic mate, The relocated number plate suits it a treat.

Have you got any pics of the pair for sale mate and how much you looking for them, , I'm guessing there fibreglass yer!!!!!

P.S. Would you post them???



Ginger

 

I will get some pics yeah the copys are fibreglass but have layed them on spare bumpers and fit very well
Cheers for the comments took a while to get how I wanted it

 

very tidy eccy m8, looks well sweet

 

Hi mate, I've got some pics of the rear bumper where it meets the arch, I did have a problem the rear corner bumper arch touching the tyre which is where I had to get it trimed back a bit plus the alloys being 7.5 doesn't help.

 

Perfect mate, I'm looking at about a 10-15mm flare, so that would make the arch kit almost level (look down the side of the car) with the RS valance.

Might have a genuine front sorted

Quick question mate, under the 3rd number on the number plate is a support bar, is there a cut out in the valance to go around it???

Reason being is i picked up a mint genuine Ford valance today, but it's on a Ghia spec Orion bumper, The mouth/opening looks the same width but i'll need to modify a small section just under the outter edge of the over riders. A close up pic of the opening on yours would be very useful if you have one as i don't want to cut it without knowing it'll fit

Just thought Id let people know that I have a minty mint S2 bumper with an orginal Ford valance moulded on.

Also have a bonnet which was turned bad boy from new in minty mint condition.
