Yours is in good nick compared with mine
I didn't realise that low lights came with those front air vents

No sense being pessimistic. It wouldn't work anyway.

I'm not sure about lowlights, when I first got it a while ago someone on the forum told me that mine may have had a nose change, I will have a a better look when its at home though, I don't actually know the Ghia's very well so I have a lot to learn about them,

the headlights look correct, so they must have replaced the nose and vents only
very odd
