Title: Panel Swaps
Post by: Pedro on 29 June 2009, 00:28:11

Apart from bonnet and bumper, what other work needs doing at the front to fit facelit panels to a pre-facelift?
Slam panel at as guess?
I assume wings and headlight units are the same?

Wings & headlamps are different. Not sure if the connections onto the lamps are as well. would guess they are from my past experiece at building cars. Manufactureres sometimes change the connections onto the lams when the facelift vehicles

Headlights same fit but...facelift lights have pointed outer corner, prefacelifts rounded so will be a largish and obvious gap if using prefacelift lights...wings are the same though...under light bits different
