I have changed the bumpers and bump strips. I kept the bonnet, headlight trims, and grille. I had to cut the grille down though. I think it looks ok. What do you think? Has anyone ever done their conversion this way?

[Del Boy]

Looks good, not to keen on the grill though but thats just my opinion, like the rest of it though.  
Get some facelift mirrors too

[Omega man 2]

Not bad

Front reminds me of a crown vic

[Bumbazor]

I did think about the mirrors but they're quite expensive although I'm not ruling them out just yet. I'm more likely to get them if I see some at the right price than purposely go looking. Or, I might just spray the black bits on those I have now. It would be cheaper.

looks great mate
you want to have a look at vx1's front grill on his and do something similar to yours it would look really good

[star_whites]

Looks a lot better than when I met you at Meadowhall. Glad to see you got hold of the new strips at last.

Looks good mate. Congrats on the conversion. If I were you, I'd go for the mirrors and would also do some modifications with the grille. Maybe put in some mesh?? And a little Irmscher badge would look good too  

[Bumbazor]

The grille is the next thing I want to get sorted but I don't have many ideas to compare. I'd like to custom make one and put mesh in but I don't know how hard or easy that could be.

Super transformation  
Maybe VX1 will come back to me for some facelift bumpers as your mig is proof it can be done without too much hassle  

[Bumbazor]

Yeah it can be done easily I'd say. There might be a few custom brackets to make up but nothing that's difficult.

[crazyjoetavola]

Well worth the effort 'bazor

youve seen what i done with my grille, i know the problem youve got is making the grille narrower on the bottom, i think its an irmy one youll need & chop it down on the bottom edge, the meshing isnt too difficult to do

[Pete Elite]

Looks good 8-).
I'm going to do the same to mine soon with the exception of the front bumper as i prefer the original:y.
I've got the rear bumper and the side mouldings, just need to have them all sprayed along with the front bumper .
 I would also as you like to fit the Facelift mirrors but as you say are ridiculously expensive compared to old style ones .

Hi there noticed your going down the face lift route,
I did the exactly same to my 1994 L miggy (see piccies in gallery) Ive gone the whole hog though; mirrors,bonnet/grille,sill covers,lights,mv6 fr/rr bumpers,headlight wash jets,door strips,I thought about getting the boot lid but it'll be a lot of work getting the lights on the rear quarters to fit!!
I had to change all 4 inner wheel arch covers aswell,

Keep up the good work its looking good

I think it looks really good!

It also has given me an idea for mine if the Pre-facelift Irmscher Front bumper gets smashed...............................

I think it works really well and well done for trying it out in the first place.
Nice one!
