Hi everybody!

Just a quick scenario - I have an EF Fairmont, and considering putting an EF XR6/8 front on it, and an EF GLi that I may put the Fairmont front (or even the XR one) on.

Is it just the bonnet / bumper / headlights that need swapping, or guards and indicators also?

Guards are the same from GLi to Fairmont and even Fairlane/LTD.

Thanks mate - you always seem to have the answers, a very wise man indeed!

Still deciding which one will look best on the GLi - it looks a little tame from the front at the moment if that makes sense, I want it to look more menacing - never really been a fan of the EF / EL XR fronts, but looking at them all lined up now it's sorta growing on me, tossing up between that and the Fairmont one.

Well he's earned it - the amount of times he's helped me on here :mrgreen:

Yes - I prefer the XR one over the standard GLi one, but I think maybe the Fairmont one is even better again

EF GLi/Futura is 10 times better than the EL GLi/Futura.

EL XR is better looking than the EF XR Bar.

Prefer the EF Fairmont grill over the EL Fairmont Grill. (Fairlane, NF/NL grills are just plain ugly as are the DF/DL LTD Grills
