Hi guys
I've recently bought myself a series 1 AU fairmont and was hoping at some stage to get a TS50 bodykit put on. But I hear these can only be done for the series 2 and 3, is this true? Cheers Jo |

Cheers Jo Series 1 : Forte & Futura At the bottom of the series 1 bonnet, the Ford blue oval badge is part of the bonnet. Like this one http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 23124&rd=1 Series 2 & 3 the Ford blue oval is in the middle of the grille and the piece of bonnet where the badge is on series 1 is flat on series 2 & 3. As on this one http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 93881&rd=1 Series 1 : Fairmont Ford blue oval is in the middle of the grille and bonnet is same as Series 2 & 3 forte & futura. So as Tomek has posted "Fits series 2 & 3 sedan and ALL FAIRMONTS" Check out this car for sale on ebay. I assumming that this is the kit that you want to put on your car. This is a series 2 forte which will have the same bonnet as your series 1 fairmont. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 39870&rd=1 Dude....if you do end up doing this, I'll give you a suggestion, get the chrome strip or lip on your bonnet colour coded like the one on ebay otherwise it will look like this. http://www.aufalcon.com/Normell.htm It's up to you as it is your car after all. But I think it looks heaps better colour coded. Hope this helps |

The picture you psted 'big pete' i dont think is a good replica of the TS50 kit.... BTW the grill looks aweful and so does the front bumper, and to me it looks like its a shade lighter to the rest of the car...

Ta for your help, and I reckon you might be right on the lip issue. Anyways, gonna pay off the rest of the loan before I get stuck into it!

Welcome.......the other thing to keep in mind is the fact that the after market TS50 kits which are available are a fibreglass kit. If you want something else to look at...check out www.c2r.com.au Cheers |

Did you scroll down and look at the other photos. He hasn't put the driving / fog lights in and that makes it look very plain. I bet you that this kit came from SSV. |

About to say the same thing.
I wanna get the TS50 bar for my ute ... but I need to get the high-series bonnet for it to fit ... and I couldn't be bothered to get another bonnet as the current one is fine. Damn shame that ... unless they can make a TS50 front bar to fit up to a lower-series front ... than I'd get one.

Might be an idea ... but finding such a person ain't going to be easy ... that's for sure.

Didn't the ute bonnets change from series 1 to series 2 the same as sedans??? |

As LG suggested check out www.awcinfo.com or www.c2r.com.au as they have series 1 options |
