The Monaro is a Holden built vehicle in Australia. The Vauxhall version is simply shipped to the UK, and some tacky Vauxhall badges put in place of the Holden, in order to try and gain Vauxhall some credability for building nicie cars.
Best place to look for any body parts is Australia.

The main exterior difference is the badging and front bumper (or "bar" as they call it down under). Rear bumper and hood are the same; the lower rear bumper insert is different in that it doesn't have "GTO" embossed. Also, Monaro's don't come with the tacky (IMHO) rear wing as standard; it is optional (as it should be on GTO's). And the wheels are different; Monaro's come with 18-inch wheels of different design, but the same Bridgestone tires that you get when ordering the optional 18-inch wheel/tires on GTO. JHP sells the front bumper conversion kits. If you just buy one (as opposed to a group buy to help reduce shipping cost), you're looking at around $1400 (US) with shipping.

any idea how much the conversion kit is for the HSV GTO front end? (I THINK it may be the same one as the Vauxhall, the one with the little "fangs" on the bottom of each side and the round driving lamps.

I did try JHP, you have to be a millionare to buy anything.
I inquired on the coupe 4 body kit 7K and some 19" wheel from them $3500 no tires included just the rims
Theres no way I would spend that much on plastic. I would put that money towards a S/C or mods. anyway I guess Ill be waiting for when some body kits hit ebay

Hey I think you have just discovered where all the ricers money goes.. into worthless plastic bits. You are right, keep the cash for mods, repairs and petrol and sleep better knowing your car goes better than it looks.
