The front guards are also different. They have a cutaway style front to suit the front end bumper/grill. You pretty much need to find a wrecked RS or one that has had a rear ender to get all the front end gear off. The rear bumper is also specific to the RS 2000 and the bobtail spoilers are actually a foam/rubber material, believe it or not. Better to get an aftermarket fiberglass spoiler. Stripes and decals are available from some signwriters.
Try getting in contact with the RSOC. RS owners club, in victoria, they have a website and someone will be able to help you.

Its not as simple as you might think. You need a bonnet, guards, nosecone, headlights, surounds, mounting brackets, then you have to modify your inner guards to make it all fit. Six cyl. TC Cortina lights are the same.

I've been looking for a bonnet for about 18 months and they seem to have just dried up. I've had 3 or 4 complete front set-ups over the years but I sold the last one about 2 years ago. The light blue one that was on ebay a few weeks ago used to be mine. The guy made a tidy profit, as I tried to buy it back at what I sold it to him, but I was out bid.
