    Jon,

    I could go for a set of the wipers too. If it can be shipped, I'd want a front valance from an early model with the chrome bumpers and the fog lights to go with it.

    Looks like you might mike a tidy profit here if you can pull these off!!!!

    Cheers,

    Dave

            and the valance. The euro valance comes foward more instead of sweeping back and they hold the fogs in the valance and then the dams cover that valance.

            It would be about $300 to ship the bumpers and valance back. Hopefully he is bringing them with him in a trip or something. That is how Greg was able to be so cheap, HE was the shipping carrier from Europe.

              Jon is going to ship me a chrome front bumper for $55 from the UK.

              ... I'd better try to get my hands on a euro valence too then. How do they install? Just remove the aluminum bumper and the valence unbolts? I though that the front air dam attatched to the chrome bumper

                it does but the foglights are held in the valance and the valance supports the air dam from behind so it needs to be the farther foward one.

                      As far as I can tell the differences are the bumpers (skinny bumpers on early models & bumper covers on late models), front valence (on early models), side indicators behind front wheel well, analog clocks instead of OBC, 15" BBS cross-spokes, M-Tech I bodykits, instrument panels (km/h instead of mph/kmph).

                        euro bumpers for the 83 - 87's

                        and Mtech1


                        bumpers I would go for if the price is right though

                        EDIT: hell I would go all out Mtech1 if I could get it for a decent price now

                        as they are kinda hard to find

                          Jon has an Mtech1 kit right now. But I'm pretty sure that I've got first dibs on it (not sure though).
                          Here is a picture he sent me a while back:
