P#s for EURO wheels arches with NO reflectors

Hello there -

I'm cursed with the ugly US wheel arches and I'd like to purchase some regular non-reflector Euro ones. Can someone please post the part numbers for them? I will try obtaining them through a US dealer first, and a UK dealer if that doesn't work I guess.

Thanks!

Mark

A US dealer probably won't since it's illegal to delete them on a US spec car.
A knowledgeable inspection station will fail you as well.

Good luck though.

Funny thing is, some UK folks like the US reflectors.

Yeah I'm thinking US dealers won't even have access to the part.

My car's not even delivered yet so I won't have an inspection for at least 4 years according to IL law IIRC.

Yeah, Mark knows it may not be possible. It's worth a try though! Has anyone actually traded the parts overseas? I'd like some Euro arches too...
