Mk 1 GRILL CHANGE

[newladontheblock]

Does anyone know if you have to modify anything to put a new grill on the front of a mk 1 nova? I was just wondering cos i got a plastic grill which is attached to the bumper. its an old car and i want to put a new(ish) grill on the front so that i can put a new bumper on it

cheers

yeah thats what it looks like. i got told that i would have to change the lights to a newer look to get a newer grill on it.

which one??? the top or bottom, they are both diff

:arrow: If its the bottom one, you'll have the change the bumper AND grille, as they're all-in-one. They can be easily swapped for the later Mk1 bumpers (i.e. SR. GTE etc) afaik

:arrow: If its the top one, you can get away with just changing the grill.

HOWEVER

:arrow: If you want to "upgrade" to the Mk2 look front end, as thus:

...you'll need to change bumper, grille, headlights, indicators and wings.
