A first (I think) for the Escort MK5/6/Cosworth

 

Now that does look nice....

 

Ooooh

 

fooking love ithow will u fit it then mate?

 

I've just dribbled out my willy. Woah, utter porn!

 

Tiger Seal

That's the first one out of the mould, which will be sent out to another member on here. I think I'm 3rd in line, and mine should be ready within the next couple of days, so should receive it sometime next week!

 

Cool wish they was about when I had my S2 no rusty roof then lol

 

oh how id love one of them ! how much were they ?

 

Very posh.What is the price gonna be for that then.

 

Around Ł455 IIRC

 

Looks blinkin smart

Cheap too, my AMS roof was over Ł1k

Bargain there, for a nice new and fairly exclusive mod.

Any idea on the weight saving? I lost 15 kgs with mine, and being so far from the centre of gravity is an added benefit over the simple weight saving.

Si

 

The weight hasn't been confirmed yet, but I'm sure it's going to be around 2kg, so a fair saving over standard!

 

they look the absolute dogs!!!

mega cheap too IMO, would be a nice touch one a tidy escos.

 

The price is superb IMO, when I first had the idea I was expecting it to cost 4x that at least!

 

Awesome!

How does it mount on? Sealer or something?

 

awsome!! cant wait to see pics of it fitted. great price too

 

Yeah, Tiger Seal should be the strongest stuff

 

Cool

 

Very sexy.

 

be nice to have a non-sunroof saff one made

any ideas if anyone doing these ????

and btw looks the dogs cahoona,s mate and sikaflex or tigerseal will do the job nicely pal

 

Mike, Im 2nd on the list and should be picking mine up tuesday morning if all goes well, i'll get it on some scales and find out.
Plus the 15kg lost by removing the original roof with the sunroof gubins.

 

So will the old roof be removed?

Bennii.

 

yup. the new carbon one will be glued on in it's place.
look's fookin awesome!!

they doin a saph one??

 

Get four other Saph owners who fancy one, and then get in touch. It really is as simple as that!

And yes, it replaces the original roof skin. Mine is already off, has been for about the past two months! Mine won't be ready to bond on for quite a while yet anyway, but will be offering it up as soon as I get it just to get a sneak preview of what it looks like!

 

Looks well smart, need to see it fitted

 

right then any saff owner want a carbon roof i for one would want one

even have a roofskin for mockup here too

only thing is would prefer it without sunroof .... but appreciate most saff owners would want one with the sunroof

can the op pm me the details of were that escos roof was made as i want one for my saff

 

Carbon delight are doing a saff one for jb fletch with no sunroof , and have also done an escos roof which is going to germany

 

Criminal chopping up an escos shell I reckon.

Looks nice quality though and I guess once its painted no one will need to know

 

LOVELY!!!

 

If its removed properly then its hardly chopping up as a new roof/ the old one could be re spot welded back in place at a later date.

 

I rarely quote on threads like this but those pics alone are almost making me go out and buy another!

Imagine Martin Hadlands car with that!!!

 

Yeah, it's no different to removing a wing really, it's just a cosmetic panel, and there to stop you getting wet. It's not really part of the shell at all.

 

3.7kg





Collected it today.

 

i wouldn't stick one on mine but the more the poofders that ordered one went on about them the more i liked it , i'm sure i can see a wobble in the weave on the ones above though


























































just joking

 

 

I thought the roof held the shell together in as much as with out it, the car would be flimsier than a cabriolet?


How much protection would a carbon roof provide if you flipped the car and it skidded down the road on the roof? I have visions of a very large bald spot appearing on my head.

 

 

I had a performance trim carbon roof for my Fiesta. It was by far the single best peice of carbon I have ever seen. Every weave was perfect. Just a shame it never got fitted

 

No, its only the roof skin thats being changed , none of the structual part is touched.
I wouldnt have one in a car without a cage, as the metal would just dent and the carbon as you say would leave you a little bit like harry hill.

 

dont you worry about how it will be viewed in the future?
a bit like rattlesnake bodykits, back in the day cool (ish- not for me) but now they are all scrapped cos nobody would buy 1

i know a CF roof is more use that a FG kit but i dunno, in 10 years time will it be against you escos?
