Okay guys, we have seen the massive side mirrors and the Elton John Taillights before, So calm down with the comments on those.

I thought you might be interested in Seeing a Euro-Spec Transformers Edition 2012 Camaro. Got these from one of my sources in Toronto area.

My pleasure. Enjoy!

I love those tail lights

armysig · 11-02-2011, 01:06 PM

Gah those side mirrors look like they should be on a MAC truck...Blah...

greenrail · 11-02-2011, 01:08 PM

Regardless, they are what they are. We had seen the photos of the euro cars quite a while back on here. Caused quite a stir, between the mirrors and the traillights.

Either way, thought the folks on here may want to see this.

armysig · 11-02-2011, 01:11 PM

Oh I know that the car has to meet certain regulations for the Euro market, I'm just not use to seeing a side mirror that large on the camaro. Now the tail lights look cool. I wouldn't mind seeing those on the US version.

greenrail · 11-02-2011, 01:14 PM

I do like the Turn signal lights on the mirrors though. Kind of an upscale look there. Wouldn't mind those if they were part of the North American Spec mirrors.

Cam#7 · 11-02-2011, 01:18 PM

You know these tail lights look much better than what I remember from a year or two ago. Probably no different just takes some getting us to. I can see this being a mid-model refresh for the North America version. We need some exterior model differences for the Gen5.

The more I look, the more I see GM copying the aftermarket when it comes to decals. I think it's pretty nice though. The side vent decals are definitely a welcome addition. And now that GM is doing this from the factory, I don't have to feel like a bad person for putting stickers on my car

If anybody like european sidemirrors I would be glad to make a swap. Personaly I prefer US version. Black color, if possible...
Thank you in advance!

P.S. Don't want to change rear lights

PeeBee · 11-09-2011, 03:42 AM

Still don't understand why GM thinks us Europeans deserve those ugly tail lights... Especially when you know that there are so much easier solutions than redesigning the whole back (orange LEDs in one of the US spec lights for countries that require orange indicators).

Belgium for example gives ONE remark on the whole backside: tail reflectors need to have the "E1" mark in it. Other than that, the US lights are just fine, even the red indicators. Side markers however can't burn...

And the mirrors, yeah... posted it on here before, the size of the ones that are on now, are in my opinion, just as has been mentioned, designed following truck rules... Car mirrors don't need to be THAT big over here. They need to fold in, that's all.

Those tail lights are a bit too much sorry you guys in Europe have to deal with those.
