gallardo 540 to 560 conversion
Discussion
Has anyone done this conversion on there car? I'm thinking about maybe doing it with mine at the moment, the only thing I'm sure of is that I don't want any fibreglass parts on my car, apart from that I'd be really interested in any comments experiences ie. led light problems any places to source parts??
i hope that all makes sense, and thankyou in advance for any advice,
Anthony.

mate, doesn;t make sense......(pre 06 cars were 500, post 06 cars were 520, LP cars are 550,560,570)
do you mean a pre-LP car conversion to a LP conversion, and i assume you mean bodywork only.....
several here changed the front bumper -sambaman, UH-matt and V10 BAT, and used a part from rsctuning...sure they will respond to this thread, else ping 'em a PM..
how you enjoying your car?

Any questions just ask.
Don't bother with the rear, just do front bumper from RSC

nice link matt, thanks.Any questions just ask.
OP, as for mechanical upgrades, better just to part ex into a LP, the engine went from 5 to 5.2l and there are extensive suspension,etc mods.....
There is a company in the US (Renown) that has done a hybrid conversion of the rear - it retained the pre-LP lights, it actually looks quite tasteful compared to some other attempts

... buy an LP560.
The End.
This ^The End.
By the time you've paid for the items, had them shipped to the UK, paid import and VAT on them and then paid a body shop to prep, spray and fit them to your car your talking big $$$$$$$$
Add into the mix, the extra depreciation on your 2008 car now that you have butchered it by modifying it.
I would estimate the cost of all of the above would not be too much away from the difference it would cost to chop in your car for an LP560..............

I'm sorry I didn't realise I had to adhere to everything that everyone says on here?!
I've done this kind of thing on the last 3 cars I've had, ALL of which were high end cars and everytime I've had the same comments, ie why bother, you'll lose money, however I've made money on ALL 3 cars (10k on the last) and had alot of fun along the way, having one of the cars featured in 911 and porsche world, so in short yes I do ignore advice when it's based purely on opinion and doesn't correspond with my actual experience, Also I didn't ask whether anyone thinks it's a good idea or not I asked if anyone had any experience of doing the conversion.
I hope that answers your question.

I've just seen a front and rear conversion from a company called renownautostyle.com just wondered if anyones had any experience with them, as this looks pretty much what I'm after.
Thanks again
its a us based company, seems its a front and back fender aero pack designed to fit.... check the lamborghini-talk.com forum as no doubt they would have sold units over there....Thanks again
