Sorry John - no way will they fit. Mounting as well as profile is all
different. Had they came from a MK3 GT6 you would be all right. What you
need is the overrider setup from an early MK4 Spitfire. You still have the
black overriders, but they are not as intrusive. By the way, If you
considering getting rid of the bumper set you just aquired - cause you can't
use 'em I would be interested. That is if it's from the central, high
mounted -bone in the teeth- GT complete with overriders.
