Default spoiler fitted

I just had a spoiler fitted to my car, what do you think? I think escorts look better with them on personally..The original picture of my car is not a very good photo, but the new one is much more like it actually is, I
also got new seat covers to hide the crabby old colour that they are.

All I need is some nice new wheels now if I could afford them.

Does anyone know of another Escort Excalibur like mine? I dont think there are many about in that edition, ive only seen one other.

After

Change the repeaters for some clear jobbies and get a set of rims on and you're laughing

ballin,

Well we had this debate on wether it was a Mk 5 or 6, we now think its a 5 because looking at the more recent ones, the only real difference is the bonnet thats more kind of roundy, 5s have sort of ones that go further down towards the grill and the lights are different too at the front..Apart from that, not much really..


I just have an excalibur which was a pain in the bum to insure because it dont exist in insurers lists and they thought it was some amazing sporty little number

Well yeah its a 5..it dont bother me anyway, I love it anyway, shame ist named what it is but at least its rare!!! and not common and there were an awful lot of escorts so its better having one that hardly anyone has heard of....

I think you will find, Ballin meant the spoilers a MK6, becasue it is sooo much more rounded than the normal mk5's
