Tickford kit on el gli & futuras

Did the EL futuras come with the same body kit as the xr8/6 or was it a different one. Did it have a front spoiler, side skirts and rear bumper or just rear spoiler. If different, pics would be great.

the same bodykit was available.
the bodykit from an EF or EL XR will fit on an GLi/Futura/Fairmont.

so if i put a genuine el xr kit minus the front grill and bonnet on my el futura you could say that that is the way it came from the factory

yes, the Tickford bodykit was an option on all models i beleive.
Take a look at the brochures in the gallery as it should say.
the front lip, side skirts, rear lip and boot spoiler would all be a 'factory' bodykit.

these are pics of ef not el

Ah... they changed it for EL's.
it seems on the options sheet that only Fairmonts and up got the option of the bodykit.

someone who lives down the road from me has an EL gli or maybe futura which has full bodykit (front skirt, side skirts, door moulds, rear skirt and tickford wing) and also XR rims and im pretty sure they optioned that

335JET · 15-09-2005, 10:53 PM

I see the odd ef every now and then but havent seen an el yet, would love to put a tickford kit on my el futura

EFFalcon · 15-09-2005, 10:55 PM

I've seen an EL GLi with it, but there is no way to know if its original fitment.
stilll looks damn nice though

335JET · 15-09-2005, 10:56 PM

wonder if insurance would except it

Pretty sure a factory bodykit was an option on EL Gli's etc. But it would have had to have been slightly different from the EF one to fit onto the non-XR EL front bar.

Austin, The shape of the bumper base was the same on EF and EL. The kit I had on my old EF was off an EL. so it fits ;)

yeah, but EF/EL XR and EF GLi/Futura have the same lower.
then there is the fairmont bumper and the EL GLi.
but, they're all interchangable anyway
