Morning folks,

Just wondered if anyone knew anyone selling a secondhand front clam for an M12 GTO?????

I know its a bit of a silly question, I wanted to use it to try some different headlights!?

Suggest you speak to the factory as I think they get to know about every right off etc. - suppose you will need a rear-ended car.....

Yes, and there are three front clamshells somewhere on earth that, sadly, may be broken up by their unscrupulous "keepers"?!

well whenever I've tried to get a clam "upgrade" GTO to 03 or R style they've refurse on basis they want to keep model identity.

Let em know how you get on.

Like all these things, if someone is really kean to change the lights and put the money down, I reckon a max power type body shop could sort out the fibreglass work etc. I'd quite like making the main light aperture smaller and putting a Tuscan style projector headlamp in there rather than the current unit that looks like it came off a 1978 truck

Then again I really CBA with all this expensive modding for little real benefit.

to be honest I don't see what all the fuss is about. I like my car the way "god" intended it. I don't want to mod it in any cosmetic way that takes away the original look that I bought in the first place.

Best of luck to those who have the patience to try though

Love the sticker on the side Nathan . Where did you get it made up? Any chance of the electronic file?

Cheers,
Dom.

I've actually got a few spare 10cm high ones (one in the pic is 30cm high), mail me and I'll pop a couple in the post, but only if you promise to wear them at a trackday and go ferrari baiting, if you want 30cm ones I can sort something, we paid £45 for a metre squared worth of stickers.
