Or they've been removed by the previous owner of my celi?
![]() First time I see these anyway, interesting though, except for the one on the hood:/ Taken from a french brochure, year 1995, model GT-2000 (SS-II probably) -------------------- |

the black lips are a euro spec extension
and the thing on the hood looks like the st202 hood spoiler. (could be st205, if seen it on a few peoples celi but they put it on.) the short of it, is that there both aftermarket/non usdm/cdm items -------------------- ![]() Kawi Love |

i got a set of the front splitters from Manphibian, he gets sets ever so often.
![]() When i was over in France all of the GTs i saw have the hood spoiler, but only a few here and there had the front splitters. I even noticed some ST had the hood spoiler too. Thouse items are definatly more european/jdm items, but are avaible through some members. |

Yes the hood spoiler is very common in Europe! I think that also most of the ST have one. But i thing is much more beatiful in the Gt-Four hood because it folows the lines of the hood (See the yellow arrows to understand what i am saying!)

And the most important reason the hood lip is there.
Its there because the ST205 Hood could deform when going speeds in excess of 240-250km/h, so the hood lip (which is metal) is there to strengthen the hood. Now thats engineering -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

If you're really after a set of the splitters and the bonnet-spoiler, I've got both of them sat in my garage....I could look into pricing including postage to you, Reaper
PM me... though I'm on a business-trip till the weekend so will only be able to check it when I get back. (Before everyone goes nuts, I've only got one bonnet spoiler and one set of the splitters from a donor-celica I had.) -------------------- |

Here in Greece 6th gen. celicas are very rare so its very difficult to find one in a junkyard! But if you go to UK or in Germany i think it's quite easy to find one! About prices, i think Germany has the best ones after Japan!
