Lol, you just said Mk3 RS had extended arches...........not all of them did tongue out they did however use the base shell , just like a mk3 FRS, so are you saying the FRS would look better with riveted on plastic arches? in 2017?

You said 'The MK3 RS'

There were two, one with, one without, same shell ( bar the battery tray, roof gutters etc )

Point still stands......are you suggesting the Mk3 FRS would be better with riveted on plastic arch extensions?

No I didn't, I said MK3. Of which the RS Turbo was the first car to have a bodykit. Which included extended skirts and arches no?

You weren't specific at all about the RS Turbo, you were quoting Escort RS lineage and missed out the Mk3 RS1600i.......

Pedantry aside, for the 3rd time, are you suggesting that the Mk3 FRS should have a riveted plastic arch kit?

I suppose you will point out my post where I did suggest that.
From the first turbo RS car, Ford have fitted some sort of body kit or bespoke panel to differentiate from the standard model. The current RS looks pretty normal and unless it's in Nitrous blue can blend in with some of the standard cars at first glance.

You could never make that mistake with a Cosworth. So uprated performance and dumbed down looks. I prefer them to look a little special.

The biggest selling of all RS's didn't have plastic or extended arches...........I suppose you're only counting the models that support your opinion ;-)

I didn't miss it out, if you learn to read for a third time "And yet the MK3 had side skirts and extended arches, albeit with a body kit."

I didn't say all MK3s had one, but the MK3 specifically as it arrived on the MK3.

FTFY......you seem to have been meaning something very specific but using very non specific words. Its nothing to be embarrassed about forgetting one of the models.

Still wrong....the biggest selling RS with a turbo didnt have extended arches or a plastic arch kit either.

Forgotten another model have we?

You seem to be embarrassing yourself with your inability to read.
I have stated turbo cars, so I have not missed out the RS2000.
