It will look like a mk1 if you use the wings & lights. Nothing wrong with that, but terrible if you dont swap the rear bumper to match (IMO).

mk1 look most effective spoilerless IMO. Its a small detail though.

Do it all (i.e, lights, bumpers, grille, wings, etc) or not at all.

Except the interior. Fit a Mk1 dash into a Mk2 and I will come and poo on your doorstep :)

yeah i think if im going to do it then i shall do the lot, mk1 wings, mk1 lights then a rear gte bumber and a new bootlid with the wrap around spoiler.
any 1 got and more pics of mk1s with the one peice bumper grill.
must just put it out there, trackdaynova's (olly?) track car has inspired me to do it ....it just looks too mean!

just make sure you swap everything. mine was a mk2, and is now an early mk1 all around. i even put an early mk1 bootlid on it lol

Unless its a H reg or private plate it will look odd.

^ The man speaks sense.

I can't believe it will all fit btw!! Is this a mk2 mk1 or a mk1 mk2 though?
Next you will be telling me Astra GSi engines fit in these things. lol

Better off with a Astra GTE 16v engine they fit easier :d

Your D reg mk2.1 SR you mean? It's a MK 2.2.1 sr rep, as it's the later model lol

I've seen an OEM J-reg Mk1 in a scrapyard
