    Default 1996 VS - Different model parts?

    Ok just wondering, I have a 1996 VS acclaim series II. Would the likes of THIS ITEM be able to be fitted into my current car? Or is there a whole lot of f'ing about to get it done?

    no need to go calling the guy a tool. i know he has put a lot of effort into his car, and it would be faster than any car in this thread.
