I've never seen a sill 'split' before, unless he's talking about the skirt ? - which fibresports make - from grp 
- i've never heard of a metal rattlesnake kit and i looked for one for long enough !!
Genuine factory fitted metal kit
the passanger sill is the same and is statring to spilt

IIRC was a dealer special dubbed the RS1900i, the original magazine feature said they were supposed to be 1900's but when released Im sure they were boggo xr3i lumps. A mate had one in about '89 after writing off his RS1600i. Jeremy Beadle once had a windup of one being run over by a jcb or summat.

they were a dagenham motors special, if its a genuine rattlesnake, it should have a plaque inside with its number on, were not done by ford, but by that particular dealer, and mostly on xr3i's iirc, been talked about loads on the rsoc

mate if you was around in the late 80's you would of seen all manner of shite kits for escorts,fibre sorts was the more reputable company.
there was cartel,kat.rga,panique,rgs,pro sport and many others selling iffy kits for fords.
i can't understand how come them red reflective panels that sat where your number plate was that said xr3,xr3i,turbo,xr4i,ford, etc etc don't make a come back and then your reg plate went under the rear bumper.
the 80's had all sorts of new shit for cars flying around and the rattlesnake kits are part of it.

Fast Ford snapper
Seriously mingin' kit! 
Even hated back then when I was a Max Power loving schoolboy!
And it's a shame that just because some deluded car dealer decided to tart up some cars really badly that the 'special edition' gets the virtual OE seal of approval....

it were ford main dealers selling them matey and iirc the sun or mirror give one away,imagine walking into your local new ford distributer and seeing a focus with a shocker of a kit like that brand spanking new.
theres a old performance ford in my loft from about 1990 with a full feature and front cover shot of a mercury grey rs turbo with rattleshat kit on.

F49SMH is for sale if anybody wants it ! i need the space ! ,
It was a design project with fibre sports and dagenham motors, it was based on the XR3i but then fitted with a Turbo Technic kit. My example has been garaged since 1993 and needs a rebuild as it seezed.........yes it a freaky looking thing but it a one lady owner freak with 31k on it.....PLUS it turns heads like you wouldnt believe lol...maybe not for the right reasons but hey.
