Default Cosworths with BODYKITS

Quick poll sort of thing...

How many Cossie road cars are there in the UK with aftermaket bodykits?

As good as fuck all id say? (Thank god )

Probably about 5 Saff Cossie road cars with the PSG Combat kit.
Turbosystems one with Thundersaloon kit.
Wes's has/had an EVO spoiler but std kit.
Alpina's had a GT wing but std kit.

Probably 10 or less Esc Cossie road cars with WRC kit in the UK.
And that dodgy kit on the Taz one, lol.
That it?

3dr/RS500?
Probably less than 10 road cars in the UK with Thundersaloon Kit n thas it?

Anyone else got any views on numbers or know of Cossies with different bodykits on em?

And whats that as a percentage of cars with kits, compared to ones that with the std kit?

most people are spending the money theyve got keeping the car running and on the road let alone waste money on a bodykit

Craig's saff had a 3dr bodykit on it.

Cossy Abuser's old saff had some wheel arch extensions on the fronts - though about the same for mine, so I can run some proper wheels..........

Cossies dont need kitting.
They are naturally agressive lookin, but not so agressive that it'll scare your mummy.



It's the 25psi MEGABOOST that scares her!!!

if you look back through old copys of fast ford there are loads of sierra bodykits avab .As the cosworth already had a bodykit in the 1st place why change it.

The rouse kit was fitted for a reason not just looks.

Press report

A aerodynamic body styling package the lower lip of the front splitter which extends around to the front wheels to deflect air away from the larger tyres that are fitted.
Developed on the race track,it increases downforce on the front and reduces the amount of air allowed to travel underneath the car to improve straight line stability,It also puts more air through the intercoolerand radiator,aiding the cooling.
The extended sill pannels (side skirts) streamline the bodywork around to larger tyres,a valance is also incorporated into the rear bumper and a slightily larger rear spoiler increases the down force over the rear wheels.

But can anyone answer my question about the number of aftermarket kits you reckon there are on each type of cossie in the UK?

(Not including Rouse/RS500)
