Front indicators (the 1s that locate just above the side lights on the genuine)
rear lights ie the closest to the original GTO as poss
Fuel cap
and most importantly a genuine front grill?

I have been looking at side repeaters too. I want something small and reasonably stylish rather than a big square or circle.
There are a few BMW ones that look okay. 3 series coupe. E46 model I think and have seen these for half the price of yours. Probably do them with orange glass too.

Something I noticed the other day, the side repeaters on the new Megan, if you fit them upside down, might work. I was thinking of putting them up on the front end of the front wing.

Just had an email back from euro spared informing me that they no longer stock the genuine front grill! Any 1 got any ideas? My kit will have the original front end with the smaller grill and fog lights.
And still stuck on the headlights.....

I do like them but they seem a bit steep, as I think you only get 1 for the 22euros ?

Mine is a MK 2 Mondeo ST mesh coupled with a Mondeo MK 2 chrome surround and a horse badge from Ebay, or you could try chicken wire, chris posted this on my build, its a genuine GTO.

My front end wont have the shape or the space for the mondeo grill as my kit is going to have the original front with the smaller genuine grill space and the space either side for the square headlights.

no problem,
cut out a piece and welded the new grill. Then you can paint the new Grill after filling and sanding.

Some genuine ones had no grill, (Gulf racing) as other kits (above) or you could make a slatted grill and polish it as Billy did with his its a shame there are no pictures on his build.

think this is going to be my only option, I'm home soon so I can start to have a play about with it. I may have to trim the sides down as well to get rid of the 'over oval' part if you know what I mean!
on the plus side, I've just had a phone call to say my seats are ready to be collected! I'll get a pic uploaded when I collect them.
