the granada came with a RS kit fitted from factory,bubble shaped bumpers etc.....bit of a side skirt on them too.

not sure if you will be able to scoure one but you might get one from somewhere.

as for wheels,the 16" standard wheels are not too bad,but they do blister like fook.

they are 5 stud too so not too sure what wheels will fit these cars.

oh well, good luck with the search.

the granada RS kit looks verty nice (the old boxy kit, not the later bubby "fiesta SI look" kit )

hard to get hold of, but youre bound to find one somewhere.

OR leave it stabnrad but just clean it up nice n mint. a proper vallet will make any car look the bollocks.

if you are after a granada body kit find out maddoldbugger, i know he was disposing of one recently
but this does depend on which year granny you've got, if it's a 90-91 car then it'll fit, but i'm not too sure if it will fit the 92-94 cars

and you can drop it on a set of 18's no problems, if you had the frog eyed one you can squeeze in 245/40/18's, and thats on the front

other than that, it's all dependant on what you want to do as to what mods you'll need to get them to fit
