    Does anyone know if the older style Vitaloni Californian mirrors are directly interchangeable with the later US type square mirrors? I have the square ones now and am interested in changing them to either the Californians or to the much better looking Euro versions. My understanding is that to put the Euros on you have to drill some holes in the doorskins and I'm not too keen on doing that.

    The US base is larger so I dont think you can hide the holes with the vitaloni mirrors.

    Never tried before,all I can say that there are no problems with these ones(pic's)...
    BTW did you ever imagine your 308 with Corrado or Audi 80 mirrors?
    Not a joke,one of my friends did it,and I only saw it after he told me....months after the job and xxxx times I saw the car!

    That's exact,looks great on the car,makes it look lower.

    Hey,you want to know it?
    I stole it from a GTO that was parked in the street at night,of course....! LOL
    No seriously,I got them from a friend of mine who deals in parts and F-cars,Lambo's and so on...He's got the same on his 308,and with 17" GTO style rims,the 308's have a wonderful and undescribeble look!Spoiler,bumper and lights I've got them new from a guy in France who's having a Testa,308 carb' and F40...I'll keep you informed when it's on the car...Look at the pic's of his 308:the louvres in the hood are welded-in,and became now a "one-piece" with the hood.Very subtile,I doubt you would have notice it without my mentionning.Look at the small GTO bumper,what a difference with the US-bumped 308's!!!Got the rear-end in the GTO style,with a self-made under-valence.Not bad,but the end is a little too "heavy" for me,I prefer the original 308-end,sooo nice.

    Hi gang,
    The rear bumper is stock Euro modell,front bumper is GTO.
    Basically the same as the Euro version,but smaller at the ends,and the side indicators are a little bit different mounted.Stock bumper glides under the metal nose,and the GTO version is not.
    Availeble is:rear valence,rear bumper,side skills(these are hidden on the pic's).
    GTO mirrors:well,I have paid over 1000€ for these mirrors,that's about 1300$...Let me try to make a deal to get some others,send me all a @mail on "[email protected]" and let me know what exactliy you'll want,and I can get back with a price-list.The rear valence UNDER the bumper is glued to the original parts underthere,but I don't know if this will work with the ugly US version black grille in the middle of the car...?
    Rear valence on the hood is also glued-up on the metal.
    I'll post a pic of the front spoiler with the lights in it and also of a pair of side skills,soon on this treat.
    That means:Eyes wide shut y'all!!
    Speedman.
