Hi,

Quick one, any tricks involved in fitting AU XR headlights, indicators and bumper to a standard forte?

Thanks

Yeah you need the guards to or a nut sert kit because 2 bolts in each side go in to the gaurds and only xr's have the nut serts in the guards.

The S2 is very nice but I love the S1 it's more rounded and is so 'tickford' if that makes sense. Plus my AU is marked 1999 hehe
