I have absolutely no the faintest idea m8.
But you own one, get a tape measure out and measure it.
Or look in your manual.

How about measuring the width of the entrance to your garage now you've got the width of the Escort Cos?

I *think* (not 100%) that ST mirrors are a bit shorter. If I get a chance, I'll measure them, as have an Escort TD too, with the smaller mirrors on. If I don't, it'll only bug me

Then you should see this picture.



And this is as she's normally on the road.
Have to say that I do not have any problems with speed bumps over here.
OK, I sometimes have to take them a bit sideways but hey, you only live once.
