Yes the FE grille will fit in an FC - many a boring FC has been changed into a better looking car using this knowledge.

You will need to run FE indicators as well unless as your next post suggests, that you are going to run sans indicators.
The no blinker look is a very nice touch and cleans up the front nicely - in an FE the park lights are in the headlights - so if you are turning an FC into an FE you need FE headlights and looms as well.

Hey John
You would be able to replace the FC grill on the model with an FE with no issues...vertualy the same grill cavity.
As for the FE indicators, they came from the factory without the indicators, so this would be correct.
The indicators could be purchased as a Nasco kit and fitted by owner or dealer.
The Holden script is correct for the side trim on an FE ute.




1 more thing to be aware of, the FE ute did not have a numberplate overrider on the front like the sedan. It is just like the FC, so no need to change that.
