cornish6544 Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Im looking at getting some carbon fibre parts for my classic like scoop and vortex generator but as i look on the websites near enough all of them state that they fit 96 to 01 gc8 shape this confused me abit because i thought the gc8 shape was the same from 93 apart from small things like the grill. Can someone let me know if there is a difference between my 94 and a 96
stants Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Shouldn't be there was a facelift around 96/97 I think but 90 % of parts will fit, have a look at HT auto's
Momo Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 There was a facelift for versions 5 and 6. Versions 1 to 4 were very similar with a few differences. Basically upto 98 is version 4. Version 5 starts at 99
Momo Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Btw keep us updated on the car cornish, looking forward to it complete soon!😉👍
savage bulldogs Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 What front end is on yours ? The difference between late 96 v3 and 92 to early 96 v1&v2 is. Rear bumper ,Grill ,headlights, bonnet , bonnet vents and scoop . Give either ht autos or daren bezent @ abw a email to see whats available for a "preface" (if yours has a v1/v2 front end) Sent from my SM-T230 using Tapatalk
cornish6544 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 Yeah it's a vortex generator im looking at getting they are all sold as 98 plus so version 5-6 but there are no differences in the roof is there? So it should fit my version 4 right? Ahah
savage bulldogs Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 The saloon Shell is the same shape from v1 to v6 as far as I'm aware. Whats the vortex generator do , Or is it just cosmetic ? Sent from my SM-T230 using Tapatalk
cornish6544 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 It sits on the rear of the roof glued on top and has a part on each side that sits in place under the black trim running down the sides. Ive bought one before and it didn't fit but only by an inch or 2 which makes me think it could have just been a bad batch.
savage bulldogs Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I'd imagine it would fit fine but I've never looked into sticking things onto mine ...... I'm thinking removing bits to make it lighter 😊 If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

cornish6544 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 The idea of a vortex generator is to create more downforce , I don't know if they make any kind of noticeable change ( I doubt it ) but I just like how they look
Gregolasos Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Mine has one on it does look good, I think the guy who put it on didn't quite put enough glue on it as its a bit flappy but I don't want to cover my car in glue either It is one of those I take it?
