yeah they come off the car, id need the whole front bumper as its completely different but the back bumper just has some little spats moulded into it, so once youve made a mould i guess you could cut it down so you were just casting the spats? not sure how you do it

Just a thought could Model Motorvations have a thread going on here to show what parts are available ???

Just won a Mk2 escort and wanted some RS decals and 4 spoke alloys, not sure what decals to put on it though, are RS1800 available ??

Think in the 'rules' bit when this forum was set up it says 'no selling' may be best to check.You could pm Escortnutter (Steve) or MentalistDave (Dave) to get hold of parts or contact them via ebay.
