Would an RS Turbo spoiler fit a cabby boot lid as personally i think that would look better, especially with the skirts.

nah because the ends are angled for the shape of a escort hatch, also mk4 cabbys didnt come with turbo kits, this is the only rs kit you could get for the mk4 cabby, and im restoring to factory, wheels, orange ind's, stereo etc.

Next project will have turbo kit though as i got load of spares in shed,lol

I wouldnt of kitted it or put the spoiler on myself. Just another XR trying to be somthing its not.

Plus XR's are rarer the RS's and worth more standard!

Keep up with the good work tho!
