How many asc parts are on the car?

I see the ascMcLaren grill tag but everything else just makes me think its an 85/86 RS.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like a 85/86 Capri.
But it does have the side and qtr skirts and the wing.I
know the hood scoop is wrong. No McLaren stickers and what about those foglights ??

The sideskirts almost look like 87+ Mustang ones because they appear to flare out at the back....asc ones do not.

The air dam is not an asc one and the foglights are not either.

The guy lives here in Cincinnati, he bought it last fall from the gent you speak of. It has a wing and emblems, but that's all. The side skirts and rear skirt are aftermarket. The car is very sharp, and has a fresh drivetrain. I will try to post more pics. It's an 86, but I think it has an 85 hatch-no brakelight(not certain).

Hehehe, looking through old posts. Don't remember posting at all back then, but it turns out I bought this car a year ago, and now drive it daily. Wierd....totally forgot about that thread.
