    Please don't quote me on this but I could have sworn that I saw a new E Series front clip hanging at GT Car Parts in Arizona when I visited a few years back. Might be worth a call. Good luck.

    This is the car that is going back to stock. I don't really need a front but I need part of the front as you can see from the picture.

    With the people and talent in your neck of the woods this should be easy. There is no need to get a new nose if that is all you need to change. I'm sure that Simon who made the aluminum Dino in Orange County could do that in his sleep. Closer to you is Gary Bobileff who has built enough Miura clam shells that this should also be right up his alley.

    Actually looks pretty good, LOL! Well executed inlet and re-located turn signals. Guessing it ran sans bumpers.

    If you decide to contact Brandoli and need help with translation, will be glad to oblige.

    I agree. No need to get a new clip. Looks like the original clip was modified locally in the mouth shape/graphic, turn signals, bumper mounts and under-tray area. Was this a U.S. spec or Euro spec car? Is the plan to go back as original? I'm working with Simon on my Stratos induction air box. I could mention it to him if you like.

    I would think Brandoli could just make the piece you need rather than the hole clip. They have the bucks.

    Gentlemen...I am a UK based tin basher...CANkraft
    I have a mild interest in this project, having made bits and bobs for Dino's for more years than I wish to remember.
    The only way forward with this car is to make a new nose and bonnet skin from original bucks which I have. Or ship the car back to the creator and ask him to let in a pair of front turn signals and make a new Ser 1 belly pan.
    From your pictures I have reservations of lower screen to scuttle fit, also where did the bumpers go in previous shots and the four series one lower air intakes...
    Also how is the clip spot welded to the spurs on the front sub structure...a lot of questions.
    ....
    ....or make a new steel body and put back to original🤑....in the long term, financially blue chip.
