What a shame to alter the classic look of a turbocoupe...Sorry, I have no better advise for you than putting the $9K in a bimmer. Then, fill the headlight of the turbocoupe with gas and turn the lights on. And run Forrest, run...

I then have a far better advise: turbowhatever, keep your $9K, sell the turbocoupe for $5K, and you can buy a very nice Porsche 911 SC that will give you ever lasting enjoyment. Does that sound more reasonable ?

you could actually pick up a roadworthy sc for 9k...............
88' turbo coupe headlights are pretty big....kind of like a ford tempo....... you may have better luck fitting in some benz lights......the bmw's are pretty narrow........ you could also buy a couple dodge omni glhs's for 9k......which will blow the doors off of a turbo coupe

Ok, look I'm sorry for the other guys behaviour, they are just plain childish. There is a really nice BMW pedal car that looks just like a real car but it's little and cute.

For lack of anything better to do, I visited the NATO website, registered, and posted a request for pictures of a conversion like you initially mentioned. While the response so far has been lite, like 2, so far no one there has heard of this customization. Now to be fair, if you were looking for information on putting Ford headlights into a BMW, someone here might be helpful (if that mod was a popular thing to do). In as much as the recipient of this transplant is the Ford, the knowledge base here might be smaller than , oh, say...the NATO BB. You might find some BMW headlamps in the classified board. Worth a look. Other than that, all I can offer is to get a sawsall, a grinder and a gallon of bondo and have at it. And try to not let the magic smoke out of the thingy! Ed |

I think that everybody was trying to tell you that what you wanted to accomplish was ahhh...a bit out of the ordinary...stupid.. so they were reponding in kind to let you know. Now that just my opinion. To each his own.....
