Hi! There has to be a massive drop on the rear.... The Axle is normally under the leaf spring,so lowering-blocks doesn't work. Simple solution is keeping the axle over the leaf.....so do i! It has to look factory standart...because of the harsh german MOT(Tüv) ...its Illegal here  After much testing and measuring ...  sorry for the bad picture quality  So ,no more photo's from the fitting..... Here it comes...       Thanks for looking! Greet Thorsten |

Hi ! Thanks for the reply's I'm not very happy with the black bonnet yet.....i have another one that i will paint in green ,too.I thougt about the scuttle panel the same but in the end.....  There is a supplier in germany for a lowering kit on the VW Caddy. To sell it in germany he has made a expert report at the german TÜV.So you have "papers" : Over here you need "papers" for everything This is very expensive..... And nobody offer that for the Escort.... Cheers Thorsten |

Hi! Yes,i agree,the shape from the escort is much more stylish than the courier! To find a MK3 overhere is nearly impossible.......  Cheers Thorsten |
