Updating a Gallardo

[98C4S]

Is it possible to make an Early Gallardo (06ish) to look like an LP560-4

Front bumper - I'm sure it can be done.

Rear lights?

Wheels - certainly

What else does it need

[Haliatus]

Yes UHMatt has put a lp 560 bumper on his G looks the dogs bks.

And think there are other upgrades out there too

• nods* the front bumper is a must have..

I know of a couple of people who have done a rear conversion (a german company?) but it is not at all cheap, and personally it was the front of the 560 I liked, while the rear of the Gallardo is just fine

Bumper is from rsctuning.com - tell them I sent you and there guy in the UK will look after the import of a bumper for you!

There is now a rear conversion for these pre LP models I have a contact in the UK! message me or I'll try dig it out later today.

With you on that one. 560 front and old rear would be my choice.

Are the rear lights easy to swap?

dude are you seriously thinking of swapping for a Lambo? Can't blame you, i almost did (but ended up with the 360 instead)

Btw: was a Silverstone this wkend, you missed out...there were some gallardos and 360m goind around the track...standard exhausts i would think and the 360m were clearly screaming a lot lounder - food for thoughts

Noise is also a big part of the experience

But then you look at a Gallardo e.g. Matts and hear his rsc exhaust on it goodbye thoughts of any 360

Dude we need to talk, if you get the G keep looks as is imo.

Personally I think the original G arse end is the best, without the glass engine cover, looks sublime. Having said that the 560 front bumper and light combo looks meaner, although its debatable if seen in isolation either design of front bumper could be found fault with. My favourite combo would be a 2005 G with the later 5 spoke single piece wheels that some 560s come with.

Im getting a G next year,and because such things keep me awake at night, I was wondering if anyone ever made a replacement clear rear light cluster for the original G?.

I just fancy something different, have been offered good money for my 993 Turbo.

As I use it once every 10-14 days - Thinking of something more special

[UH-Matt]

I usually change cars every few months, had the gallardo a bit longer, that said its always forsale if someone offers the right money! I am always considering something different!!
