Board Sponsers are always a good place to look, but short of that you can check out Ma Shaw -- www.mashaw.com -- they make the 'Turbo Look' bumper for the older style headlights that you have. They also have some great other products for our cars too. Most here on the board seem to think the products are of good quality and I have never heard anything but positive reviews about them regarding their service....

Good Luck, and let us know what you decide to use.

You can always update your headlights and fenders to post MY02 and get a new GT3 bumper...all depends on how much you wanna spend, what llok you wanna achieve and how long ur keeping ur car

Jasclass: I like the GT3 front bumper but it did not fit my car. I have 2000 C2.

msindi: I heard that it's lot of work to do the fenders, how much it will be ? any idea? I was thinking of doing it, but I will need to know how much it will cost me.


Itzkirb: it's cool to meet your nice car. nice!!!!!!!!

Annie it was nice to meet you also. When I came out of the dealership I thought you guys were looking at my car cause I was parked funny or blocking someone. Kinda cool you guys recognized my car.
