    Enough, turned 50 this year, done waiting, buying 308 after I get my last rental property sold.
    Back in 95, I was signing my name away from buying a '78 308, but now is the time. I live in California.

    Requirements:
    1) 83-85 QV
    2) Euro front spoiler bumper/fog lights?-(I know its low :)
    3) Red/prefer tan GTS(i)
    4) Stock rims-what tires does everyone prefer these days?

    Question:

    1) How easy is it to retro-fit USA version front bumper with Euro front end bumper/spoiler/lights? Parts? or forget it and find Euro version?
    2) Registration/smog for car in California? I have property in Colorado.

    Long time since I posted, thanks for your help,

    Mark

    Very tough to get a Euro car to pass smog in California, it's better to just buy the US version which will pass just fine.

    #2 is difficult on a US car if you want it to look euro style
