I think so.. There is quite a modification involved...

1. Wiring. The Tail light wiring needs to be changed. A retrofit of the Loom is quite possible.
2. Mounting Tail lights. Modification of the Mounting points to allow fastening the Lights to the Body of the car.
Afterwards filling the space with some sheet metal and painting as required. (As I am giong to respray the whole vechile this wont be an issue.)
3. Rear garnish and garnish lights. (Instead of cutting the bottom of the boot lid to acomodate the garnish. why not cut the garnight to fit hte existing boot lid??)

I cant see that this mod is very difficult. We that said I will keep you all posted.

So exactly how many people have already done this??? I Think NONE!! :)

Keep your eyes on this thread as I will take pics and post them up as I progress.

More news soon.

the diamantes have a different boot shape. it has a rise on the boot like a factory metal lip.
where our boot contines down and around with the shape of the car the diamante's boot rises before it falls to the tails. how much this affects the garnish and lights i dont know.

actually from this pic it doesnt affect the lights at all.... i would say bolt in with maybe wiring change for extra garnish globes.
