ow fuck there is me thinking the other one was the limit but no.....it keeps going on. The horror. Please get some taste man. Loose the spoiler fuckly wheels etc. They are ok cars to drive with thee 12v or 24v engine. They are ok to see not ugly but ok.

horses for courses, loose the rear spoiler as it looks like you crashed through halfords, unusual finding one on that year still with rear arches intact.

Boxed standard and all the better for it IMHO.

Yours could be used as an example of how not to modify a Granada.

if you knew what u were looking at the only mod on that car apart from the wheels is the spoiler everything else were on the car as extras from ford......and if you read the post thats a maybe ....maybe not type of thing.......and ive had 3 of the boxed and standard and all i got was does it go fast and having a sleeper with 24v on the back defeats the object.......debadge it at least

Fill and respray the boot lid? If you pick up a 2nd hand one you will be lucky if its the same shade.

You could also remove the spoiler for something more suitable.

i have to say that minus the oversized shopping trolley style spoiler i prefer this one to that other chavy gray one, and the owner too, at least granadasteve is taking the comments under his wing unlike the other twat.
anyway as said above about the boot lid, why not plug n fill the holes and either spray white or how about black together with the bonnet to match the body kit could work?? also i liked the white wheels in one of the pics just needed to be a little bigger to fill those mahoosive arches
