Mk1 has square headlights with the grill in the middle, Mk2 has rectangle headlights and the grill extends underneath. Thats the easiest way to tell them apart, but obviously there's a load of other stuff too.

Mk2:

Pretty much everything can be swapped around though - but bear in mind you may need to change other stuff to match. Example, if you change the headlights and indicators from Mk1 to Mk2 then you'd also need the grill, wings and ideally the bumper as well

Oh yeah, and you'll know if you have a Mk1 as the dashboard will give you cancer. lol

MK1 has orange front indicators, shallower bumpers unless its decent spec, the dash is more boxy and the hazard light switch is halfway down the dash

MK2 has clear front indicators, deeper bumper the dash half resembles an astra dash with the curves and the hazard light switch at the top of the dash, oh the head unit is also right near the bottom of the dash

theres lots of other differences, most of the parts are interchangeable, as in all are unless you want to change the front end or dash which is still doable but needs abit more effort
