I'm thinking about trying to get hold of a facelift irmscher kit and put it on my pre facelift now i know the back bumper will go on if i go for the single exit type but what about the front bumper will i have to change loads of stuff like the headlights and bonnet or do you think i could get my bodyshop to sort it so i dont have to change all that ? Just thinking out loud and thought it would be interesting to hear peeps comments.

So no one know if the front bumper will fit then. :-/ :-/

They do but the grill has to be modified and you'll have a hell of a lot of trouble getting a facelift Irmscher kit. If you're lucky enough to find one it'll be mega expensive too

Normal facelift bonnets & grille don't appear to be as deep as a prefacelift bonnet & grille to me  :-/

They will fit, but as already said you willl have a gap between the bonnet and the bumper as the grill wont fit into the gap so you will either have to fit a facelift bonnet or modifiy a grill, if you fit a facelift bonnet you will have to modify your windscreen washer jets as they are on the bonnet of prefacelifts but on a facelift they are next to the wiper arms

Hi,
Place near Sunningdale called Rude cars did just what you are talking about.
I believe it was their Omega Elite that was an early example of their work.
If you go to:

http://www.rudecar.co.uk/modifications/index.htm

and look at the bottom of the list the Omega shown is a Prefacelift with a Facelift Irmscher Front Bumper and a home made grill.

I'm sure Tony would be very happy to talk to you at great length about what they did.

I think LMF still had the Facelift front bumper - but they were about a million quid.
