Apart from the rear spoiler, chin spoiler, wheels and rectangular driving lamps and of course the graphics;
Are there any other differences on the outside?

Interior wise too, apart from scheel seats and a 4 spoke wheel, anything different in there?


Ta muchly

Carpet is different

the 9 options are different
Parcel shelf
Front grill had all slats cut out on the 16i
Clocks have the lights on the rev counter
ecu panel on dash

Cant remember anything else - been 6 years since I had mine.

Ok, my old RS1600i as above ( genuine car, covered in a magazine back in 1995 - Fast Ford I think ) had XR3i spats on it, which was a bit of a joke at the time when the RSBB was the place to be on the net due to the RSi only coming with 9 official options, the 10th being the fabbled Spats.

I maintain ( as I removed one by accident ) they were fitted at factory and the paint work and quality of the metal behind tended to agree. Obviously the RSi faithfull tell me I am talking bollocks BUT there was evidence to suggest it as I have seen other 16i's with spats on and had a hand in breaking an ex concourse Caspian Blue one with them.

It stands to reason that if you're a paying customer in 1982/1983 and you wanted XR3i Spats on your RSi then Ford would fit them... hence... the Fabbled (un official) 10th option joke.

Hope that helps.

Which bits are the spats?

Reason I'm asking, i'm picking up a very solid sunburst mk3 cabby to put my cvh turbo engine in and I want to make it look like a 16i rather than a S1 kit which everyone else seems to!
