Re: WANTED Stub Nose Turbo Front End
I get lucky from time to time and find a bezel here, or a turn signal there. Pick up bits and pieces when you find them, and eventually you can have all the pieces. You will need to cut the ends that plug into the light housings from a donor car and wire them into your current cars harness. Make sure you get the oil cooler housing from the early car as well. The later style will not fit behind the plastic air dam.
I have gone thru my collection of stuff over the last few years. I have built a few cars, crashed a few cars, and had neighbors crash into one. My supply of flatnose stuff needs replenishment as well. Try hitting the local junkyards and u-pull-its. That is where I find most of my stuff.
The days of finding whole flatnose cars with nice clean fascias are kind of a thing of the past. Although you might get lucky on occasion.

Re: WANTED Stub Nose Turbo Front End
What are you guys referring to as "flat nose". I think of 87 and pre 87.
I am the 73%

79 to 86 models. The front is a little more vertical. Later (87-93) models slant back a little more.

If you want a new air dam for the Aero/SPG, there are new ones at Speedparts here in Sweden. You don't get the lip and the side parts though.

What the?! I want one of those for my 85... didn't realize they were still available new in box!!! I bet shipping to the US would not be cheap, and I bet US dealers want nothing to do with bringing one in...
I might make some phone calls though

The bumpers are all the same, you need the plastic panel that sits behind it.

Are you planning on e-codes or the normal US spec lights?

Those are what I run in my car. Ask them about the wiring harness and lamp upgrade.
