1 was from poland an ebay seller will get the link.
2 is from bob roberts motorsport.
3 is from ramsport.

The one in the pic is from poland and by far the the best made but not the best look the other two needed alot of work but 2 needed the most doing be4 i could put primer on them.

Cant wait to see how it looks with the WRC parts, the car was going to go WRC style years ago . I went as far as to buy the wings,tailgate/spoiler and looked into bumpers then gave up on the idea.

I hope to do it justice in turning wrc style as the car was stunning the way it was when you had it Neil

wings turned out to be quicker to do than thought finished them today with first coat of primer just have to sand and prime again to leave them flat without flaws.

Those mirrors look good - i'm surprised you don't see them on many other EsCos's. Are they easily sourced?
