(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

 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.

Automotive air conditioning components seem to be difficult to source and expensive to boot. The XR4 and Scorpio are no
exception to the rule. Reason being, a functioning A/C system is considered a "must have" and some will pay almost any price
for cold air on a hot day.  BAT understands that comfort is paramount, but on the other hand it should not require a second
mortgage to repair your A/C system. You will find we have a selection of  high quality, economically priced A/C parts too help
keep you cool without breaking the bank.  
Most A/C Components for XR4 & Scorpio are interchangeable except where noted.

pA 
Evaporator- The evaporator (alloy fin/tube design) works
as a heat exchanger.  Air flowing through the core is cooled,
cleaned, and dried.  It is also one of the major cost portions
of the A/C system, with the Ford original costing around
$550.00. Check out our aftermarket alternative for less than
half the cost !                                    
                                        M470E
pB 
Expansion Valve- Meters the volume of refrigerant to the
evaporator. Expansion valve assembly should be replaced with
evaporator or if found faulty.                                          M470EV
pC 
Blower Motor- HVAC system blower motor includes motor
and fan wheel.             (Scorpio)   G470A          (XR4)   M470A
pD 
Refrigerant Hoses*- The complete refrigerant hose manifold
assembly.  These are specially re-manufactured units that have
the hose running to the fire wall extended so it can be routed
further away from the turbo's excessive heat. This is a very
common failure item.               (XR4ti) 
extended hose                            M470H
                               (Scorpio) 
standard length hose        G470H
*additional $100.00 core charge on this item- refundable on return
pE A/C Compressor- The compressor is one of the major cost
portions of the A/C system, with the Ford original costing upwards
of $850.00. Check out our 
brand new Nippondenso A/C compressor
units that are complete including the clutch assembly.

Clutch Assembly*-  Replacement magnetic clutch
assembly. Available separately from compressor . If a clutch is all
you need we have it.                                                    M470CL
*additional $25.00 core charge on this item- refundable on return
pG Condenser-  The A/C condenser (alloy tube/fin core)
is located ahead of the water radiator.  Designed to cool
the compressed refrigerants air passes over the cooling
fins extracting heat to change hot gasses back to liquid
refrigerant as it cools.   Again, one of the major cost
portions of the A/C system, with the Ford original costing
upwards of $600.00. Check out our aftermarket alternative
for considerable cost  savings!    for XR4                M470D
                                                    for Scorpio          G470D

Electric Fan-  An alternative to the expensive original
condenser fan ($450.00).  This highly efficient (1200 cfm) 16"
electric "pusher" fan moves more air 
for le$$.          A16F-PU
pI 
Pressure Switch- The triple pressure switch assembly
engages the condenser  fan and switches off the compressor clutch
with high/low pressure. Also a common failure item. 
          M470S
pJ Receiver/Dryer-  Works as a storage/expansion tank for
refrigerant as well as a system dehumidifier. It is common to
replace  the dryer when changing over to newer types refrigerants
or whenever the A/C system has been open to atmosphere as the
dryer is easily contaminated.                                            M470R
