In the process of having bootlid logos made so pics should be up once they've been applied after arrival. Would also like to edit existing the pics with missing botlid logos- will get there, it's just time consuming!

Couple of quick questions, I really want to do a signal orange mk4 cortina with a vinyl roof. I know vanguards do a ghia with dark brown vinyl roof - however I do not like the overides on the front bumper mainly due to them being too close to each other - they need to be wider apart so I can fit a standard wider number plate.
1) Can I redo the ghia without the overrides?
Or 2) if not, is it possible to do a GL model which would have a sunroof? If so, I will do a signal orange version with a light brown (beigish colour) vinyl roof. Already have a spare shell with sunroof hence the question.
Please advise, thanks in advance.

I suspect the overriders will be part of the bumper, so you will have to file them off and refinish the bumper, putting on new overriders as a finishing touch. You can recreate the overriders using leftover sprue or scrap plastic.
Interestingly google shows photos of UK-spec GL and Ghia cars with and without overriders and with overriders close to the front plate and further apart. The Taunus seems to have the overriders positioned even further to the outside.
