version. These fenders also include the holes required for side blinker mounting
(see below).

Cosworth Front Grille Nothing transforms the look of the XR4Ti quite like
adding a Cosworth grille. Designed with a center opening, the Cosworth grille
adds additional air flow to the radiator and A/C condenser for a cooler running
engine and better air conditioning performance. An intercooler could also be fitted
behind the grille opening as is done on the original Cosworth Sierra and R/S 500
models.
Note: Grilles are O.E. quality (injection moulded plastic) not shoddy fiberglass
replicas. Suppled (primed) un-painted- includes "Ford" emblem

European Side Blinker Lamp Kit Add an extra degree of safety when
signaling to turn. Side blinkers fit above European fenders without modification
and can also be fitted to standard Merkur XR4Ti fenders by drilling a mounting
hole. Kit includes (2) lamps, wiring and templates.M317
pL
Cosworth Hood Original equipment Ford Sierra Cosworth hoods are
designed to receive hood vents/louvers for additional under hood cooling. These
hoods look quite distinctive as the raised center section is lower and wider than
on the standard XR4 hood giving the car a more aggressive appearance.M813
pM
Cosworth Hood Vents Hood louvers/vents are both visually striking and
functional as they help to ventilate the engine compartment. These O.E. Ford vents
(pair) bolt into the Cosworth hood (above) or can be fitted to standard hoods by cutting
a hole and bonding them in place.

Cosworth Front Spoiler/Bumper We supply everything required to
install the stunningly attractive Cosworth Sierra front spoiler/bumper to your
XR4Ti. All components are original Ford including; bumper, bumper bar
brackets, lower side fender mounting panels, fog lamps, turn signal lamps, and
assorted hardware (clips & fasteners).
Note: bumpers are supplied in white-
can be painted to match other colors.

pA Replica Cosworth Body Components
Fiberglass body panels are an alternative to the more expensive, and
becoming unavailable, factory Ford versions. We have searched far and wide
to import only the highest quality fiberglass replica bodywork. Even so,
fiberglass is more prone to incidental damage (cracking) than the more
flexible ABS plastic or urethane original Ford components. Also keep in mind
that fitting is totally DIY and most items will require paint prep work, fabricated
brackets and other hardware.
Important Note: We often hear horror stories
from customers who have ordered similar fiberglass items from European
mail-order suppliers only to receive broken or substandard components, and
now you own it! Worse yet, the shipping costs involved importing large, bulky,
items like these can far exceed the cost of the part, and what started out as
a bargain now has become a expensive learning experience. Our pricing on
all items, including sheet metal & body panels,
includes inbound freight from
Europe. Once here, some items that are too large for UPS (or other carriers)
will be shipped truck freight collect, we will also extend our 25% C.F. Motor
Freight discount.

Cosworth Sierra Arches & Skirt
Sadly the factory Ford wheel arches have recently become unavaiable. Some
side skirts still remain but for the most part the R/S arches and skirts have gone
the way of all the factory R/S 500 stuff "not availabe- not replaced". In place
of the origionals we can offer a reasonable cost & quality fiberglass alternative
wheel arch and side skirt kit. For anyone searching out new factory arches and
skirts we might still have a couple odd arches & skirts available (no full sets)
call for more information & pricing.

Cosworth Rear Airfoil
One of the trademarks of the Cosworth Sierra is its large rear wing/airfoil.
Perhaps a bit gaudy for some tastes, none the less it does a great job at
keeping the rear end planted. At speeds over 100mph as much as 45 lbs. of
downforce is created for added high speed stability. Anyone interested in this
item had one of two choices. The factory Ford Cosworth rear wing/airfoil (still
available from Ford Europe) but at over $1800.00 who can afford it. Or the
usual aftermarket fiberglass versions, although much cheaper in cost the
quality suffers greatly. When we sampled most of these we were genuinely
concerned that some of the replica wings might come apart, or even fly off at
speed ! This dilemma prompted us to undertake manufacturing a super high
quality fiberglass replica that solves all the above problems. It is extremely
well built, can be securely attached to the car and is attractively priced.
Note:
rear wings are designed to fit smaller hatch 1985-87 cars- the mounting foot
will overhang on the hatch glass molding on later cars and will have to be trimmed.

European Headlamps The standard US spec. XR4 & Scorpio
headlights were pretty poor when new, and get worse with age- especially when
the lenses turn cloudy. European headlamps will provide a significant increase
in light output and they look great too. These lamps utilize all glass lensing with
a halogen H-4 55/60 watt bulb for high/low main beam operation, and a halogen
H-3 55 watt bulb for the built-in driving lamp.
Note: Lamps are supplied in right hand
drive (English) specification which has a subtle different low beam flair pattern,
however, this is not very noticeable. If required left hand (German) type lenses are
available separately (see price list). We recommend installing the lamps first before
opting to swap out the lenses as most customers do not bother.

Accessories
pA Scorpio R/S Rear Wing This hot looking rear wing goes a long way
in transforming Scorpio's look. For installation R/S wings will require
painting to match your cars color, and some mounting holes from the
standard spoiler will need to be filled and spot painted. Also note that a rear
brake light will need to be located elsewhere in the rear window.G306
Scorpio R/S Side Skirts Matching Rally Sport rocker panel side skirt
set looks great with above rear wing or without. Other than just good
looks, side skirts help to keep the door sides and rockers cleaner and with
less stone chips. Easy to fit, paint and install.G302S
pB Scorpio Cowl Cover What is it, and why doesn't my car have one?
This is a commonly asked question regarding this item. Ford equipped
very few Scorpios bound for the US market with these European cowl
covers. This moulded plastic cover keeps dirt, debris and small animals
from winding up in the ventilation fan and associated duct work. Clean
out this area once and for all, then install a new cowl cover- your Scorpio
will thank you.G369C
pC Mini-Lite Wheels (15" x 7") for XR4 Cars of English heritage,
XR4's included, look great on classic Mini-Lite type wheels. These
wheels are both lightweight and attractive with a bright silver clear coat
finish. Specifications: 4 x 108mm pattern, 15" x 7" size, 38mm offset,
18lbs each, center caps included.M411M
pD Thrust Wheels (15" x 7") for XR4 We are often asked to supply
inexpensive road wheels, and here they are. The Thrust is a 10 spoke
light alloy wheel with locking center cover, available in either silver, or
charcoal w/silver lip. You will not find a better quality, proper wheel
fitment for the price. Specifications: 4 x 108mm pattern, 15" x 7" size,
35mm offset, 18lbs each, locking center covers included.M411T
pE Floor Mats Foul weather mats, commonly referred to as "ice cube
trays" or "waffle mats", are made of heavy duty rubber with small
compartments to catch melting ice, water, mud etc. from your shoes or
boots. These Euro. Ford mats are the best protection for your interior for the
winter months or when going afield. Can be placed over standard plush
mats or directly on carpeting. When dirty or filled with water- remove, drain,
hose off, and reinstall. Front mats will fit both XR4 and Scorpio, rear mats
are for XR4 only.

First Aid Kits We are often asked to supply the First Aid kits that Ford
equips new cars with in Europe. Includes more than just a selection of
"Band-Aids". Think of it as good insurance.M102
Fuse Box Covers A common breakage item on XR4's. We have new

takes place with the sunroof open at speed can be eliminated with a
Sunroof Wind Deflector. Tinted smoke (grey) acrylic, fits both XR4 and
Scorpio- hardware included.M307
pG Side Window Wind Deflector for XR4 A similar product to the
Sunroof Deflector the Side Window Deflector keeps the wind noise levels
to a minimum while allowing maximum ventilation. Effective even in light
rain! Tinted smoke (grey) acrylic, easy installation- no holes to drill. For
XR4 only- sold in pairs.M340WD

The cooling system on the XR4Ti is fairly unique. If there is
another car with more individual hoses in the cooling system,
we have yet to see it. Compound this with the changes
throughout the model run and it gets even more complex. We
have a good inventory of the hoses and other cooling related
components that fit 1985-87 XR4Ti and some (where similar
or noted) for 88-1989 cars.

wastegate is no longer available new, we supply a high quality
re manufactured unit. Internal components (diaphragm) are re-
placed and exterior is zinc plated.) M521WR
pB
Turbochargers We offer both re manufactured stock
specification and modified high performance turbos for the
XR. High quality re manufactured turbos include; new center
cartridge compressor/turbine wheel assembly with recondi-
tioned outer compressor/turbine housings, new bearings,
seals and O-rings and fasteners. Our high performance turbo
adds a few extra tweeks. A GNX compressor wheel machined
into the stock comp housing for an additional 30% airflow and
a 360 degree thrust bearing is fitted for added durability.
Turbos are fully dressed and include wastegate actuator,
base & drain gaskets and sold on a exchange "core" basis-
outright purchase will add an additional $100.00 to the cost.

Intercooler Kit If you are looking for a large high flow
intercooler kit this is the one to have. Intercooler core mounts
ahead of the steering rack in front of the engine facing the
ground. Air is ducted up and through the core. Plumbing is kept
short and allows for a larger core than what can usually be fitted
in the bumper/grille area. Kit is complete with intercooler core
(8" x 20" x 3.5"), mounting brackets, inlet plumbing pipes &
connectors, clamps, turbo output elbow, bypass valve and
additional hardware and instructions.
M522ICpD
Adjustable Boost Valve Kit Replace the troublesome
stock boost control solenoid with this easy to adjust under hood
boost valve. This kit uses a check valve to accurately control the
boost level which allows for faster turbo spool-up (reduced lag)
over typical adjustable "bleed-off" valves. This is a low cost modifi-
cation and should be a "must have" for all XR's.
M521BV
pE
Dual Port Wastegate Actuator These are new actua-
tors which feature an adjustable length rod (set boost & pre load)
and dual vacuum ports. The dual port feature permits use of a
remote mounted boost valve (see below), but can also be used
as a replacement for stock actuator.

mance turbo-
charged versions
of the 2300 began
to appear in 1979 in
the Mustang/Capri and continued through the
80's in a more refined and powerfull EFI turbo
version. A reduced bore 2000 displacement
"Ranger" truck engine (from 1983-87) was also
produced. Some late production "Lima" engines
are equipped with hydraulic roller cam and valve
train, and other versions use dual spark plug
cylinder heads. The 2300 is a fairly rugged
engine in its stock form, however some compo-
nents will require up-rating with performance
components if high RPM duty is required. The
"Lima" series turbo and normally aspirated en-
gines respond quite well with a bit of perfor-
mance tuning and though lacking in refinement
do give quite a bit of bang for the buck.
