Standard diameter. Put the Oem exhaust next to the omp one before fitting,

**Trevhib** · 12-05-2012, 12:43

I'm always banging on about new headlights to folk who're spending a lot of time and money on GTT restorations, the pic above shows exactly why!

Looks absolutely great

**Flight666** · 12-05-2012, 13:30

Your`e not wrong there Trev I recently bought a fully restored Tungsten grey Gt and about the only little job the guy didn`t do was replace the headlights bought a set off the same guy as Matt and for the sake of £14.99 each the difference is amazing..

oh and the car looks very nice Matt a credit to your hard work there.

**Mattv6** · 12-05-2012, 13:31

Thanks guys. No suspension on it at the minute though

need all the top strut housing.

**Brigsy** · 17-05-2012, 09:39

You might be best off using the original springs on your suspension rebuild mate as most o the time brand new springs are the wrong length.

Yep next job

**Trevhib** · 08-06-2012, 13:31

Awesome. I didn't want to say before, that having done everything else on the front the fogs needed a bit of TLC to match.

Btw, those indicators. Are the little tabs located properly in the slots that are in the lower edge of the headlights?

Think so but I didn't like the gap too. I'll double check.

**Flight666** · 08-06-2012, 19:42

Did you get the fogs from E.bay france at all? Just looking for some myself thanks for any info on them..

**Mattv6** · 08-06-2012, 19:47

Yea only took a couple of days to arrive.

**Brigsy** · 21-06-2012, 20:36

**Mattv6** · 21-06-2012, 20:48

Hi,

Resin copy. I was impressed with the quality of it tbh

**Fishey** · 21-06-2012, 20:52

Looks mint!
How much was the gearknob and where did it come from?

**Mattv6** · 21-06-2012, 21:14

eBay France - got it for £45

**Leebourner** · 21-06-2012, 21:25

**Leebourner** · 22-06-2012, 11:40
