Thanks for letting me try for you. Same with parts though, you get what you pay for. That's why I am here. To offer genuine GM parts at good prices instead of the crappy aftermarket parts everybody uses. -

Sorry no steering wheel swap avail. I would sell the alloys at cost + 10% which would be around $130.00 each. Shipping IS NOT included in that price. Weight is unknown -

If they were available when the cars were new, all part numbers are gone from the parts catalog and the online accessory catalog from 2014-2015. sorry -

I wish I could after reading everybody's posts. My GM catalog only covers Sparks made for the U.S. I believe these lamps would not be a simple bolt-in install. I can only guess that a front lamp wiring harness would also be needed. That brings into play the body control module (BCM) and if the U.S. version could be reprogrammed to accept these lamps. -
I may have this post removed....so be it. I am a GM Parts Manager (Buick GMC dealer) that can provide OEM GM parts for Sparks and any other GM vehicle new or old. I am trying to help fellow forum members with parts. I am a 2016 Spark LS owner, black (GAR) in color and 5 spd. Bought from Apple Chevrolet in York, PA. I can even print build sheets on vehicle after 2000 if you want to know what all those option codes stand for. 2016 Spark all-weather floor mats are now available from GM. They are 1 week away from me. 10% over cost ($107.25) plus shipping. No sales tax excep

Sheetz gasoline is popular here in the northeast. after two back-to-back tanks of 43.39 with Valero and 43.38 with Exxon, Sheetz returned 42.23 running exactly the same routes. I will stick with top-tier fuels. Does anybody else live in the northeast and deal with junk gas in the winter? my last car lost 2.5 mpg in the winter.(88 Pontiac 6000 2.8 V6) Does the Sparks' mileage get worse in winter?

worked at Nissan for awhile. The folks who make the cvt for GM. Nissan CVT's in the V6 vehicles are just ok. the 4 cylinder Nissan CVT's are junk. other than that 11 month sidetrack, I have been with GM for 20 years. I saw a 2013 Spark with a burned valve and a 2016 Spark that had a bad Kuhmo right off the carrier. 41 lbs of road force on the balancer. Not many problems, even while under warranty with these vehicles. my 2016 with 14 more hp and VVT and 5 spd. has no trouble entering the highways via the short on-ramps in PA.

Issues with the 2016 manual Spark
jbaker2379 replied to buffyuna's topic in Chevy Spark 2016+ (Gen IV)
I bought a 2016 LS with a manual trans and steel wheels. I have an hour commute each way to work and wanted something easy on gas. So far I have averaged over 43mpg using the ac and some 80-90mph runs on the interstates. Just as buffyuna has said, you can leave the clutch out and the car will move with no gas. The shifting is a bit notchey but no more than the 1980's shitboxes with manuals. I found out trying to pass somebody on a hill that the VVT kicks in at 4000rpm and has some decent pickup in 2nd or 3rd gear. Happy with the car after 1300 miles. -
