If I were you, I'd save up the money to invest in another car rather than dumping the money into abomination called BODYKITS for your Escort

BUT that's just me

Ya, new plans - get different car if you are going to mod. Hey what about a Cosworth Escort? Or Focus RS?

That is the same car my mom bought brand new in 97 but it was a 1.6l 16valve Ghia. Great cars in car mileage but couldn't get it to pass 195km/h.

The engine is very very slughish and the clutch pedal is very soft. I hate the radio, it has the tiny partial detachable faceplate. The suspension is supersoft.

That is not the car I would start putting a bodykit, start with XR3I at least or buy the previous RS2000 version or you could save for the RS cosworth which should run you around 12000 british pounds used.

That is a Vauxhal corsa/opel Corsa. The most powerful version on that boxy bodystyle was the 1.6l GSI hatchback and it had 105hp.

I was using that picture as an example of a poor body kit.
