Love the look of this alot more than your EA as well. The white looks heaps better.... Nice work on the interior too, looks sweet!

About the lights, I have an EF GLi, and have the bigger fairmont/futura dome light and the reading lamps here (with the metal bits too). Did you just cut the roof lining to put the reading ones in? or swap it? I was just going to cut it, but thought there may be a spot on the roof where the metal part behind clips in or something...

Anyway awesome work!


hi
in my case it already had the large one with the map lights i only had to trim about 5mm off the rear of the hole in the roof lining to fit the fairlane one..
if yours is the small std one i think you need to cut the lining hole to fit the one with the map light..

Good work as always Troyman.

Looks funny without the side skirts on it LOL

Re the boot spoiler, the spoiler you have is factory fitment as part of the Sprint Kit. I have the same one on my ED Ghia.

I am, as you know, partial to the XR bootlip spoiler, and it will work well with the rest of the car.

I think it will come down to YOUR preference.

Cheers

I wish I had your motivation. Some time would be useful as well.

Looking forward to seeing it tomorrow.
