The difference between the two at the front is bonnet, headlights & bumper and relatively easy. Rear, on the other hand is nigh on impossible cos the rear quarters are different around the rear lights although I'm sure the rear bumper would fit. Side trim swaps over easily enough.

Why would you want your PFL Omega to look like an Astra G?  ::) ::) ::) ::)

Plus, bearing in mind the cost and effort.... just buy one off the Bay. Then you got two or can sell the PFL  :y

Have you thought about just doing the front bumper?

I've seen a very attractive white estate (at Duxford) with PFL  bonnet and lights and a F/L bumper.
He'd made his own grill insert which looked really affective that sat in the smaller gap between top of the F/L bumper and lip of Pre-F/L bonnet.

An idea, any way.......
