Anyone here own a 2017 Camaro? Looking at a 50th Anniversary one from Ian Allen and wondered what the UK spec differences were to US Spec?

Thanks

I think you will find the specifications on the chevrolet.co.uk website.

I have looked at that but specifically the 50th Anniversary isn't listed on UK website. I have been told the UK spec 50th edition comes with a different front grille and no splitter compared to US version?

I have a copy of the Aug 2016 brochure and tech spec from the UK website. PM me and I will email them to you.

Hi, I have a 2016 2SS, which imported from the US whilst living there.

I've noticed a few things different to the ones from Europe;

1) Turn Signals - As standard in the US, they aren't fitted on the wing or mirror. I had to have them fitted after importing.
2) Rear Cluster - I had to have the wiring amended to change the red turn signal to the reverse LED bulb. Its now a dual flasher.
3) Fog Light - The Ian Allen ones all seem to have a fog light in the rear valance. Mine is hooked up to the 3rd brake light.
4) Radio/Nav - Being US, I cant tune to even radio station frequencies. eg. 105.4 - However the car has Apple Car Play, so you can use Google Maps and Spotify/Tune In Radio apps

Cheers,

Mike

I have a UK spec 2017 Camaro.

As far as I can see a UK car is equivalent to a 2SS spec in the US, but we don't have the SS badging (WWII connections). We are limited on options and apart from colour, wheels, stripes etc the only options we have are the Magnetic Ride/Dual Mode Exhaust Option and Sun Roof.

The main differences will be lighting (including UK headlights), UK Sat Nav, radio frequencies and possibly different frequencies for fobs and TPMS. There are also a number of other RPO codes for the UK affecting stuff like emissions.

My brother hopefully picks his up this weekend.
He's asked me to drive it to Wheels Day next month as he's taking his 409 Impala.
Mmmm, decisions, decisions....

UK Fifty has the same grill as the other EU spec Camaros

Thread revival !

Anyone here in the UK with a Fifty ?

I see Ian Allen Motor have one advertised, guess it's likely one they supplied new.

I ended up going with the sheep and buying an S550.

Searched hard for the right Camaro with manual trans but it didn't happen.

Maybe another day.
