Here I am , There were none made for the Scorpio, Anything you want would have to be made, The Mk3 side skirts will fit but are just a little bit short, Shaun will be able to throw more light on that one for you.
I will be making my own before long if I can find the time, Also have plans for a tailgate spoiler

Here's an item you may be interested in, I thought this was brilliant but sadly I probably wouldn't have the time to undertake it for my car....

You will have to make your own if you want some as they were never made, See the link above for my front end, You could also ask at some body shops if they do make body kits but they won't be cheap as one off's.
You could have a go like I did.

Going to fill it in, What does the Escort spoiler look like, I think the saloon needs a long spoiler to come down the rear quarters a bit or it tends to make the rear end look to high, Either that or something low and small IMO.

I imagine that you would need to tighten the springs a little to counteract the weight of the spoiler. Otherwsie it will end up on the back of your head quite a lot!!

had wondered about that, ive got a spare set of springs though, may just slacket off the ones already in and run dual boot springs, hopefully they wont be to powerfull and send the boot lid to the stars
Quote:| Have you tried it on the boot yet |

not bought it yet, ive had a good look at one of the blokes cars at work, its got almost the same curve as the saloons boot, also it will need a bit of work as it has a cut out for the rear wiper on the 'scorts
