pigdog Hey guys i need the plastic headlight surrounds for the early single round lights (both sides) .... Im converting my 1990 240 to the early front end ive got everything needed of a 242gt except the surrounds cause i stupidly sold them . hoping not to pay a fortune if possible i think i sold mine way to cheap :/ im in wollongong area so local or if its around syd or whatever i can pick up if not would need them posted hoping to have some here by the 20th of this month , going to be doing a shitload of work to the 240 would like to do the front end while im at it ... Also i will need a flat cowl later down the track to match everything up if anyone happens to have a wreck they dont mind taking a grinder too . cheers guys
jamesinc There are two types of early single round headlight fascia. One is black plastic and comes from '75-'77 MY 240s that had the chrome trim along the front edge of the bonnet, and the other is black plastic with an integrated chrome strip and comes from '78/'79 240s that had the chrome trim moved to the grille.
pigdog Yeah i just found out there was different types , could both be used with the 79 Gt front end ? i have no real preference other then having single rounds over the giant rectangle lights i just need it to all line up with the gt blinkers and bonnet etc etc ill pretty much be blacking out any chrome trims i come across not 100% on what grill ill be using yet either , i would like to source one of the wide ones with no fog cutouts but for now i have the grill with fog light cutouts ill just throw in till i find another grill ..
jamesinc I don't know if they'd fit, but they would probably look weird. If you have the GT grille, then you want the fascia with the chrome on it. BUT is it the GT grille (silver), or just a GL foglight grille (black)?
pigdog Going off all the google images ive just looked at they look the same except for the chrome trim like you said however its hard to get an accurate sizing etc just of images .. The GT grille i had was destroyed so just getting a black GL foglight one off a bloke but it was just going to be a temporary grille to fill the space till i can source another one i dont want the fogs in the grill i want the old wide no fogs style .
