Is it just the case of swapping the headlights, wings and grill to get a mk2 front end onto a mk1?

I already had the bumper with the car and im ordering a fg bonnet.

Cheers

Liam

you will need mk2 headlight clips and the bumper iron attachers are different on a mk2.

I will buy the L shaped brackets off your bumper iron from the Mk1 Pm me

I'm gonna ban you!

How DARE YOU abuse a MK1 and make it into a MK2!

Uber Sin!

lol

seriopusly though - dont do it - it youve got the basic mk1 front end just get a GTE bumper and grill - mk1 end is more agressive looking than the "girly soft" mk2!

I own both mk1 and mk2 and the mk1 looks much better!

If you HAVE to convert to mk2 front end you need -

2 headlights + clips
2 indicators
2 wings
a bumper
bumper bar/irons (although bar otself may be swappable)
grill
and you'll need to mod the mk1's slam panel as the clips for the mk2 grill wont fit as the mk1 has less clips than the mk2. Need to get the drill and files out.

Plus you'll need to respray the front end obviously unless youve been lucky and got the same colour.

I'm the one wanting to swap mk2 for mk1 front end. I need mk1 wings, lights, everything. Luckily everything I need to swap is exactly same as you need to swap from yours to get mk2.

Where abouts are you Liam?
