face lift questions

[lee24yorkshire]

Hi, im wanting to do a face lift on my mk1 nova and wondered if anyone who has done one can give me some advice, tips, problems etc. Will i need to change the front valance? Will i have to change any wiring for the lights etc

Thanks

wiring is the same only thing you need to do in cut the square holes in the slam pannel for the for the grill to fit all wings and bumpers are a straight swap will need to remove the plastic trim around the bottom of the vallance you will need 2 wings pair of lights and indicators 2 headlamp clips mk2 bumper and grill

sticking the bits on is easy.... living with yourself for changing it from a mk1 will be more difficult....
