Default EF vs EL

Hey all. Just wondering what if any is the difference between an EF Tickford Bodykit and an EL Tickford bodykit. I was under the asumption they were the same and havent spotted any obvious difference but have been told otherwise.

The EL has BA XR8 copies on it not the factory ones. The wheels were the same.

The standard wheels weren't the same. The optional FTRs were though (like what the EF in the first pic has).

Could you fit an EL kit on to an EF though?

Wasnt the larger XR8 spoiler also a EL only thing (maybe even only the 185kW ones?)? Or did they offer that on the EF too? Worth it, much more agro looking.

Also notice the differing piece behind the front wheel arch. Not sure about the profiles of the front and rear pieces.

Yep. The bigger spoiler was EL only, but I'm not sure if it was just series 2 or not.

Also, I think the front spoiler was different in a similar fashion to the side and rear skirt

ELs definitely a better, chunkier looking kit than EF.

My EF Futura has the bigger spoiler on it, I was informed they might have been an option from Ford, but mines been put on at a later stage.

I think the bigger spoiler looks terrible, EF much nicer.

Default Differences

The EF and EL body kits were a lot different. The front bar was different, the side skirts were different, the rear bar was different, along with the side moldings on the doors and the bonnet vents were also different. You can pick up the differences in the photos provided earlier. The large EL rear wing was a later upgrade on the EL only.
