Front end conversion
« on: 01 January 2009, 13:47:50 »

From pre facelift to faclift.

I think I'm right saying that the bumper is a straight swap, but are the other bits ok or will they need changing too so it fits nicely? For example, bonnet which includes the grill where pre doesn't, headlight bits, etc.


Thanks

Thanks guys, thought I'd bagged a cheapo conversion with bumper for £40 but reckon I'll be looking at least another £100.

Unless I chop and grind that is!

the facelift headlights have a narrow angled flat along the top edge into the bonnet to the end of the bonnet- the lights look like the lense is at a steeper angle (tryin to compare from good pics on my phone) also it looks like theres more of an angle from the outer corner of the healight to next to the grill if that helps
