Not really much for mods at this point. For the most part, modifications on the Cosworth will be small as compared to say a Merkur. That's because as far as i'm concerned, the Cosworth is the ultimate Sierra out of the box so not much else can be done without going cynical. At any rate, the matching A-pillar trim from a Mark 2 Sierra (actually late-model Merkur - same thing) were added. It just needed a hole drilling into the A-pillar sheetmetal in the upper screw-hole. It already screws into the stock lower hole. You can't tell that the car had different dash or A-pillars unless you know about these Cosworths/Merkurs. Unlike Merkurs, the non-speaker center dashboard is actually are the same shade of grey as the lower dash. There you go - a bit of Sierra trivia there! BTW, the 'chinese' rearview mirror ornament was on the shell since I bought it. I made a point of keeping it on there to remind me how far the car has come and remind me of the old 'Italian' owner's flare.
As for the seat covers, they are a great and important addition. Three door Cosworth interiors are difficult to come by and the ones I have are in good shape. To make sure it stays that way, I bought these from the RS Owners Club. They attach using elastic snap-off/on snaps and are adjustable. They come in different colors - navy blue being most popular. These are the black ones and they look great too especially when the car is parked.
The floormats I bought back in Brooklyn when I still owned the London XR4Ti. Before I sold the XR4Ti, I took these with me. They were then were in my Sierra Sapphire 4x4, followed by my Thunderbird Turbo Coupe - then finally in my Cosworth. Recently, I looked for them in Autozone, and they don't have them anymore. They do have showing off a bigger Ford emblem with a 'Built Ford Tough' logo - obviously marketed towards the many Ford pickup/SUV truck owners out there. No thank you! :) |
