OK a few things:
As Sean said, any non-standard bodykit will be rather poor quality...
If you want the GSI grill on your diplomat, it won't fit unless you modify the chrome strip along the front, or remove it completely, then it just looks pants...... there's a dip in the GSI grill so it's a bigger grill than the standard Diplomat one.
And ask Pete (Pedro) about how much work is involved in putting the 3.0 24v engine into a 2.0 car..... you may as well buy a GSI in the first place.....

FFS don't buy an Elsie rep kit from Bad Boys Bodystyling in Birmingham - I did, and had to whoop their asses in the Small Claims Court to get my wedge back - over a year after the event! [That was what convinced me that genuine bits or stuff from Joe Ellis at BTB Exhausts would be better and actually cheaper in the end]. It was the most cheapest, crappy, ill fitting piece of shit that ever came out of a mould - BAR NONE, I kid ye not. Apparently, it's the same as sold by most people that offer an Elsie rep kit. I know PSG is a lot better, but the rear arches are 'flatter' than the original, but still look quite decent, considering there's not alot out there for a Carlton (unless you're a jammy git like DTM Racer......) Oh, I have a PSG rear bumper for sale............

It bolts straight on - I had it on another Carlton for a bout a week, then sold the car. Looks good without arches aswell!
I'm looking for £50=p&p, but would prefer it collected.
I'm in York, BTW.

Sounds like a plan Blippi - last bumper I sent bt Initial Citylink cost nearly £30, so perhaps this is a better solution???
