Not sure.. I did think about it.. but decided against it.. as I love my 75's back at home.. lol.. you never know.. they might eventually import them? I also read somewhere online that the chassis of 750 is changing soon.. to an buick chassis ???? or something like that..

I read that somewhere too. I think it was the same platform as the Insignia? How can you go from one makers platform to another and call it the same car! I just wish the 75/ZT could have continued in this country after seeing the 2010 design proposal.

yep - same here.. I wish that too.. its a lovely car.. just the interior is different..

and like to know how they will change the platform.. and keep the car.. at the moment there are still loads of parts the same with our 75's - but some of the part numbers have changed as I have been asking them a few questions regarding parts, and when compared to rover pt numbers - they are now different.. same part mind you...

All in one headlight/sidelight is neat and more up to date.

Keep the pics coming!

Would these headlights and bumper bolt straight onto a 75 / ZT ? Or would the lights just not be compatible with the older system? Be interesting to be able to have the option to update to these type of all in one LED lights....... assuming SAIC would sell it to you as well....

Hiya..

mechanically yes - they will fit, as will the bumper. but Im not sure electrically. To be honest, the guys that work there have poor english, so it would be hard to get that information from them.

I do know that they only produce those headlights for LHD cars.

regards, Kev

I have to say, that if I owned a Mk2 ZT, I would seriously consider one of those front bumpers!

Ok thanks, would be pretty good to get one of these and see if it worked......i think the light unit would look great on a ZT. Wonder if could get hold of the factory and order one......!?!

Could we not get them shipped over here.
