i take it that the 99 is a mfl with the window switches in the centre gearshift surround?  if so you would need the door loom out of your mfl to fit in the newer doors, as to fitting the the older doorpanels i think the door handles are in a slightly different position and the tweeters definitley are,
as for the bonnet that wont swap over as the grill is attatched to the bonnet on the newer one whereas the grill is attatched to top of bumper on the older one also the bonnet slam panel (where the bonnet clicks into) is slightly different, i am not saying that all this cant be done but you would have to swap door looms, cut out the bonnet slam panel and weld into the older car so you could fit bonnet and wings you would have to swap the headlights over too as they are slightly different aswell,  seems an awful lot of faffing around but as i said it can be done and has been done  :y

Bonnet is a straight forward swap as long as you fit the facelift bumper too, the slam panels are the same - no welding required. Obvioulsy headlights are different.

started into it today wings went on easy except for bolt on inside of wheel arch, front bumper cross members are different too still messing about with them had to extend wires going to washer bottle as really want new type bumper as am goin to wrap it & dont want black plastic bits on old type bumper showing, if bonnet goes straght on will be great , have doors on but as said am gonna have to change the looms over , just gonnna stick with old boot lid as no key hole in new type one dont fancy being locked out. have to new type tail lamps too dont know if they wil fit but early ones look better anyway . It is alot of messing about but wil be worth it in end cant wait to get it back on the road

Looks nice, would like to see more pics of that!
I've been told if you change the bonnet and the bumper from the newer model, you need to change headlights too? but looking at the pics, they look the same imo

That looks well cool  :o  I really like that :y Is it hard to do that and where would you get the wrap from? Is it expensive? Gotta be cheaper than a respray. Can you get a pearlescent colour that changes colour when the light hits from different angles?
