Why don't you get a new tailgate and stick the wrc spoiler to that so you can always change back and not have holes all over the place btw car looks

seen this car down the sea front on passion ford nights etc. must say, without sounding stupid, its one car that i know its gona be a good night if i see it driving round. me and my m8s always watch this one. i wouldnt personally change it at all. love it the way it is. if ya do really want a wrc spoiler, get another tailgate coz i had a wrc spoiler once on one my escorts an then decided to put the original spoiler back on and wen i had the tailgate repainted to hide all the wrc spoiler holes, it was never quite the same again if that makes sense

This is as close as I can find for you mate, gives you a rough idea if you can imagine the car without graphics etc...

DaveEsCos on here did it on his red one and it worked superbly well. I think if you're going to do it though yo uneed to do the bumper as well so the look goes front to back. Deffo agree with getting another tailgate to bolt it on as well

no not yet , as i have not had any problems with it , may just stick to the hyd lifters, rpm readings was from dyno and monitor so should be spot on

man, f sake, DONT do it.

you've got just about my fav combo on escos, black with white rl7's . it will look SHITE in wrc form IMO!!

if you feel you need to wrc an escort cossie, sell your one to me, and buy another one, then do it to that

Dave's escos was in my top 5 fav escorts UNTIL he wrc'd it. TOTALLY fucked it up imo

standard bodywork is the ONLY way to go WRC -

from this angle the WRC spoiler is hard to beat..

btw... notice that the top blade does NOT bolt out on a genuine WRC spoiler (like Daves) but would sure make painting easier!!
