plans are wheels changed for 15"RS7's, 35mm lowering springs, mk5 bonnet and grille and a decent exhaust, i have fitted a induction kit with home made heat sheild and front strut brace. its a 105bhp model but have some 130 cams ready to fit (but its nippy as it is so may give that a miss) got a nice piper stainless backbox of e bay, said it was a 1.8 16v Escort one but it dont fit right and i think its a 1.3/1.4 mk5 escort one :rolleyes:

Looks nice that. Part of me wants to say you should fit the skirts and spats from an RS2000, but it does look really nice in its original form, as you don't see many nice, standard ones these days!

 

I think it needs mk5b spats to go on the rear bumper, but I'd leave the Sideskirts it's already got on.

If you're fitting spats, then I think you should at least get some colour coded skirts to match. Personally I think MK5b/6 skirts would suit it better, but it's all opinion. But, if you keep that style of skirt, get some from a MK5a RS2000, colour coded would look better with spats for sure.
