POINTS OF INTEREST
TF was a facelift version of the TE with interior and exterior upgrades. SL/X had the most significant changes; grille and headlight arrangement resembled (VH) Commodore of the time. All other models had same grille and rectangular headlights as TE but now with vertical bars as well as horizontal. All sedan tail-lights were also reminiscent of VH Commodore. Side indicator lamps were deleted from front quarter panels. SL/X had wide side mouldings level with bumper height. Bumpers were a new one-piece black polypropylene moulding. Interior received all new dash fascia and instruments; colour coordinated interior trim layout. Steering column and control stalks were shared with upcoming JB Camira. SL/X had quartz halogen headlights, new design centre console, coarse spoke design wheel covers, full instrumentation all in-dash. SL door trims now went to top of the door same as SL/X, window winder handles were plastic and colour coded, new dash fascia had four face level air-vents, all models had dual horns, wheel offset was 10mm further out making track 20mm wider front and rear, petrol engines had mechanical fuel pump (All previous models had an in-tank electrical unit), belt driven air injection pump added to engine to reduce exhaust pollution without reducing performance, 'Gypsy' panelvan had same instruments and steering wheel as SL/X. Petrol engine manual 4 and 5 speed gearboxes gained revised wider spaced ratios. A limited Edition shadow-toned SL/X called the 'Star-Sign' package was released early in '82. SL/X models had a model code of their own - no longer being just an SL with an option number.
