None of these hold a candle to the Mrs new beast:

The Fiesta is pretty nice tbf.

My old one on Turinis after @Gally had worked his magic on it:

This looked just right.

Love it. I actually prefer the Puma now because I'm an old man!

Saw this on FB and thought it was a good excuse to resurrect this thread.

Cosworth without the Whale tail, I think it looks pretty good, I'm also a big fan of lovers because I'm a child and want to be Mad Max.

I await the inevitable death threats from Ford purists for daring to exist.

I follow him on Instagram. Can never make my mind up if I like the whale tail delete. Looks ok, but it also feels like it's removing one of the cars signature features.

Louvres definitely look shite though. They don't suit it in the slightest.

My father took the whale tail off his when he owned one, people were baffled. I thought it looked much better day to day.

Edit: Just found a pic of a standard looking cosworth with the whale tail removed.

Looks ruined

s**t without a whale tale
Worst wheel choice on cossie ever!
That slatted back window FFS looks utterly w**k.

He should be shot for doing that to an escort cossie perhaps he used to drive a mk1 capri 🤣

In fairness, it was a factory option to delete the whale tail and adjustable front splitter on the later, small turbo cars, so it is kind of OEM. It doesn't look bad as such, but it definitely looks like there is something missing.

You are - sadly - mistaken. He has also had it on 19" replicas of the standard wheels, which look cartoonishly large:

Or there are these two, which are an exercise in choosing wheels that don't suit the lines of the car in the slightest (and air ride on an Escort Cosworth just baffles me).

I've seen the 18" rep's before and think they look spot on. Those 19"s just look daft.

The 'big yellow taxi' looks poised to do the right thing?

This comps look hard as nails - take your hard drive to the nearest police station and tell them what you have done.

Some scumbags showing off their freshly stolen Saph.

 

[Robbie Corbett]

I wonder where they sell all the bits? None of them are exactly common now.

Abroad perhaps? Plus I bet there are plenty of people in the RS circle that won’t mind having some cheap tasty parts for their cozzeh.

 

[Whisker biscuit]

Imagine this was your pride and joy having to watch these rats paw over it 😡

 

[Robbie Corbett]

I hope they f**k up and sell something on facebook - the morettes would be an easy spot

Ultralegs , Rondells or 18" reps anything else looks shite!

90% of fast ford owners I've met look like people who would steal fast fords.

So I guess selling the bits is actually quite easy.

Unless you sell them to the owner by mistake.

Allegedly, the car is known to have been on a certain kind of site

So the plod have left it there.

Can't have f**k all these days, f**king pond life everywhere.
