Hey guys, just after a set of RS2000 flairs for my Mk1 2 door escort, would anyone know where I can source these?
 
Cheers,

Rare Spares have them in steel and from memory they are $169 each side. I used fibre glass ones in mine but trust me they were a pain in the arse to fit. I have recently seen some ads for full steel reproduction twin cam guards which may be an easier option but more expensive upfront at around $400 each

To be honest the Rare Spares ones are a pain to fit also... The steel is different thickness and don't graft well...
Much easier and nicer to fit a whole guard...

Here is a link for the Twin Cam Guards if you are buying them direct in the UK. They are 514 UK Pounds for the 2. That works out at approx $800 and then you have to get them to Australia, pay Customs and GST. I don't think the Guards are dear at $880 a set (I also do a forum deal outside ebay as some of you are aware). With over 100 sold so far here in Australia there are a lot of happy campers out there.

Thanks for the replies guys, gave you a call Rob but it rang out. I had a look at the ones you have on ebay, due to my ill knowledge I think I have put out the call for the wrong type of flairs. I am chasing a set of the bubble like ones that extend out for the front and the rear a fair way (want maximum room for widest tyres).
 
I noticed on the classic escort parts site they go for $1000 for the set. Do you have anything like these rob?
 
Also, does anyone know which would be the best option, steel or fibre glass, for these types of flairs?
 
Cheers,
Shamo

Hi Shamo, nice to chat. Yes those steel bubbles are in stock. You can pick them up from me on the Sunshine Coast. Cheers Rob
