Bumper was the same, so were the colours, except for Jewel Violet which was Monte only, only a handful were Jewel Violet.

They did have a tiny little splitter below the normal one, like so



and different interior trim, individual number and different wheels.

I beg to differ. If you went to Ford Motorsport with a big enough suitcase full of 50s, it was standard on your WRC car

i'm looking at it now mate and it's definitely the same as the one robin posted

only differences are meshed lower grille and meshed parts next to the indicators (supposed to be fog lights) and a carbon splitter.

They didn't have the meshed foglights or any carbon Ben, the one above is a Monte.

The foglight grilles are Sierra RS500 jobbies which also fit the Escort as Ford had bucketloads of indicators and Foglights laying around by the looks of things

No road going Escort came from the factory with the WRC bumper, and I'm 99% sure it wasn't available from the Ford parts desk/options list either, only Ford Motorsport if you wanted a rally car, or replica ones.

Jr will know for sure.

Like I say, as far as I know, all the WRC bumpers on road cars (unless it's a genuine ex-WRC one) are aftermarket, and a copy of the WRC ones.
