Default Calling all breakers / DaveEscos / Ginge

Has anyone got the blanking plates that go in the corners of the bottom grill on the bumper of an Escort Cosworth?

See picture below - you can see, where they bolt to in corners where holes are...

Doug,
Prove it, as I got Martin to see if he could remove the ones off your car, but it didn't have any on it for him to do so . Seriously, depends on what you want... .

Phil,
I do indeed run a spoiler, but that was the only photo I had that showed the grill locations adequately and that was on one of the four occasions that I had broken it .

Phil, my O.Z. 18" Super T's are offset ET25........



The O.Z. 17" Superlites (magnesium) are normal Group A offset of ET35 mm so I need to fit spacers (10 - 12 mm and longer studs).....




Will post pics of the Es Cos in a few mins.

Phil, I need the spacers (on the 17" superlites) to clear the strut platforms......they actually clear the AP brakes no problem (330 mm / 4 pots).

Yes, out a further 8 - 10 mm would look better, but it's the hassle of changing the studs to longer ones At the moment I have 9 - 10 turns of thread so if I fit spacers the wheel studs would have to be changed...............Hang on a min, I have to change the studs soon anyway to accomidate the 17" superlites........

wondered what they were for, they seemed pretty pointless to me as they are solid with no holes in, anyway were awkward to fit after putting the pro alloy intercooler on so i left them off, can someone please tell me if these need to be fitted, i thought they were to direct air onto the radiator
