I have a mk2 nova merit with a 2.5 v6 in it, but the front end of a mk1 nova has grown on me, so........rather than swapping everything over to a mk1 car, i was wondering if i get all the mk1 parts for the front (wings, headlights, etc) am i going to have any trouble fitting these bits (different fixings, etc)

Cheers

Nope you'll have no trouble, unless it's a early mk1 when you'll need the plastic clips to hold the grill but GTE shape is a easy job

Just mind and get the 4 plastic clips for under the headlights, 2 on each side as the mk2 stuff ain't going to work on mk1 headlights,

I'm sure you'll get all the parts on here aswell,

I've just bought a pair of headlights and indicators, so when they arrive i'll look for these plastic clips, thanks for the advise

Make sure you use mk1 bumper iron.
A few bulbs of the headlights can have a different fitting, Thats all.
