does a mk 4 escort look good with cosworth spoiler, bumpers
hi all ford lovers.im building a black mark 4 escort xr3i to look like a cossie, so far i have built a custom spoiler which consists of an rs turbo spoiler on the bottom and a whale tail on top which i flushed into the rs turbo spoiler. i have fitted quadlights to the front and clear lights to the back, i have fitted a rs turbo body kit. i am waiting for my cosworth front and back bumpers. i replaced the standard seats with rs turbo recaro bucket seats.
Basically all i want is peoples advise and opinions

errr
how can a mk4 escort look like a cossie ? whats wrong with the rst kit ?
i like replicas alot if they are done properly, but i cant see how you can make a replica of what never existed.
show me pics.

I saw an RST with a roof scoop the other day....i'm no mechanic....but surely that's pointless with it being a front engined car? In theory, the wind resistance actually slows the car down?
Unless it was a cold air intake into the boot to stop his frozen stuff defrosting on the way home from Tesco's??

did you just say a roof scoop keeps the wheels stuck to the road? oh dear. and it WONT be one of a kind,your about 15 years too late for that,there have been countless mk4s with cossie kits attached to them,usually it looks crap though.

Testing the future
each to their own i suppose, but imo any kit looks nasty.
you can't polish a turd, only put a flag in it. and that's what bodykits are - flags for turds

it was a lad in nuneaton who built it about 7 years ago
was genuine rst aswell, went well for well for what it was but nothing special
i did see it last yeah hiding ina corner of a garage so i knwo its still around
and al was done properly and did look quite good,
but to your question smead
why would you blend a whale tail in witha rst spoiler i dont know,
are you tring to mimick the xr4i tail fin just it will be bigger

I think they look gash for the amount of time and money that needs to go into them.
As said, each to there own, but i would look at modding your car in other ways. Give it a hard stance and maybe kit it, but try not to stick to an attempted replica of a cosy. The MK4 is to small and the kit makes them look like someone has driven through halfords with there car covered in glue and hoped for the best.
A tastefully done, one off mods MK4 can still be the nuts.
I think you may get some ribbing on this post, but if you have your heart set on it and it makes you happy, then that's all that counts.
Good luck with it all.

there was a car in Performance Ford from the Gatebil show in norway that was running full escort cosworth bodykit and whaletail and tbh it looked ok (maybe because the rear bumper and front bumper were off but hey )
if its going to b on the road dont do it because it will spoil the looks of the Mk4 far too easily. Stick to an RST kit or Buy a MK5 escort
