Happy Christmas to me. Can you identify my present?

As some of you know I bought Ian's shell after Keith was unable to continue with it. My intention is to use the FD donor that i have to transplant ALL the running gear to the first Gen. I will be using front and rear subframes, steering, brakes, full suspension engine gearbox, diff and power plant frame.
My donor is pretty much stipped now with most of what i dont need sold on. The first gen shell is sitting in my cousins workshop ready for whn i drag the donor up there to transplant the running gear.
The FD is only 10mm longer which i can easily lose but it is 3 inches wider so i was looking for a wide arch kit, like a group C or similar.
I love the look of the black car below but had hit brick walls with every enquiry to obtain a bodykit. Imagine my surprise when my cousin phoned me today and told me to go to the workshop and have a look at the car. I stopped off on my way home only to find out that he had been given a wide arch kit for a first gen by one of his customers who new he was into his RX7's, Happy christmas he said to me
). It is new and never fitted. It looks really good quality and although dirty is in really good condition. It looks nice and wide and the fit looks good from what i can see.
I have taken some pics with my phone which arn't great but i was hoping someone might be able to identify it. It has side skirts, all four wings and a front lower splitter that looks like it goes under the stock front bumper (the really dirty bit in the pics). It looks like there should be a piece that goes between the rear wings under the stock rear bumper which i dont have but i'm sure i can make something.
I am hoping to get the running gear fitted before christmas when i will bring it home and start on the engine work. It will be a street ported FD engine and single turbo.
