To swap it all over you need mk2 headlights, indicators, wings, grille, and bumper and it all just bolts on in the same way, all the light connections are just the same the only difference is the headlights on a mk2 have aim adjustment on them which you wont be able to use, just try to make sure you get both the lights from the same car as they may have been at different angles otherwise lol, good luck mate hope this helps!!!

i agree - leave it mk1 - perhaps change the front grill to an sr one abd change side indicators to clear ones and wing indicators to ovals nut to change the front end isnt worth it - you'll need to get wings resprayed etc etc etc...

MK1 looks better if your feeling the retro look.
MK2 looks a little more modern.
