Lotus or Irmscher Evo..........and that's about it!
Both very expensive and both fooking rare!

You can get PSG and Mattig LC copies (Mattig is better) but even these are rare.

thats bad , theres no doubt that the standerd gsi, the lotus and the evo versions all look great but if thats all there is then i think that im going to look into doing something a bit different, not going to go mad so dont worry but i would like to do something with the bumpers, lights for starters , will keep my eyes out for something lol

Specially on a wagon! Wink

Just unbolt the whole Carlton bodywork from the windscreen forward.........and bolt on the Senator stuff!

IIRC, only thing that doesn't line up is the daft bit of trim behind the front wheel arch, but a bit of filler and double sided 3M auto tape should fix that
Diplo-Matt has had it done, but it was bodged - badly - and the car's been scrapped since.
Looked ace though!

Didn't Morette do a twin/quad headlight kit for the Carlton? Not to my personal taste and I think it'd be hard to find a set now.
