and its different.. good luck with the fit, will look good once done |

The chrome number plate surround off the fairlane garnish fits straight on with no mods... looks good too I think.. its a start
The new boot and spoiler clean up all right too.. especially with the EF taillights in place of the lamo EL ones.. the whole thing could use a wash and polish me thinks.. rgds Frank |

hmm... the more I look at that, the more I like it.. it breaks up the blandness of the EF/EL rear without going overboard like a fairmont spear...

Honestly, I think that looks like poo....
Why not get a fairmont surround to see what it looks like? |

Hi Alfy...
The lights are EF lights now.. swapped them last week. I may have to re-think fitting the whole garnish unless I can get the fairlane lights and boot to fit also... The garnish sticks out half an inch.. on a fairlane, thats fine because the boot is recessed.. the EL boot wasn't designed for a garnish so it isn't resessed except where the number plate fits.. not enough for the whole garnish.. having said that, if i can get the whole kit from a fairlane.. I'll certainly see if I can get it all one there.. Last edited by frankieh on Mon Oct 27, 2008 1:03 am, edited 1 time in total. |

not sure I like the spear.....
first I have to find a fairlane with a cheap back end and I have to visit with an angle grinder and then fire up my welder.. |

krisisdog..... personal preferences mate.. apart from which, I didnt' like it much at first either.. but its grown on me and the pictures really don't do it justice.
If I put a fairmont surround on it.. it'll look like a....... fairmont.. and I don't particularly like them at the rear.. The chrome surround was a temp thing to see what was possible.. still a work in progress... I don't mind the look though. |

I like the spoiler.. its' small and low.. not like a pram handle... but the rest I agree with...
I still havn't given up on this yet: So once I get some fairlane taillights and boot lid, I do plan to give it a shot.. (you'll be happy to know that the EL spoiler will not fit the fairlane boot due to differing curvature.. |
