View Full Version : face lift front end(lights) Mortywrx 08 June 2003, 22:21 Cheers Would the version 4 fit the old lights cos think the grill is diff to the later versions 5-6? And also what is the diff with the bonnet and version 4-5-6 Darren [Edited by Mortywrx - 8/6/2003 10:22:21 PM] Mortywrx 05 August 2003, 18:02 Im just in the process of obtaining the facelift front end ive got my MY00 bumper but once ive got the grill and bonnet do i need to change the lights or is this if your wanting to change to crystals? can i just leave my normal MY95 one in. Thanks Darren greasemonkey 05 August 2003, 19:23 You really need to change the lights as well if you want everything to fit - and look - right. The older lights are a different shape and will cause you trouble fitting the grille, as well as odd shutlines along the top. Mortywrx 05 August 2003, 19:37 okay cheers Darren Dyney 06 August 2003, 22:12 The new shape grill is wider! It can be fitted with the old lights after a bit of trimming :) greasemonkey 07 August 2003, 01:30 STi version 4-5-6 (i.e. MY98, 99 and 00) headlights are the same external shape (98 lights are lenticular lensed, 99/00 are crystal lens with multifaceted reflector), and the 98/99/00 grilles are pretty much the same too. Thus, you'd have the same fit problems with a "98" grille and older lights as you would with a "99" or "00" one. As Dyney says, you can trim the grille to make it fit the older lights, but you still have the slightly odd shutlines. It's not a major issue though. Still, if you can get a pair of 99/00 headlights - or maybe a Morette conversion, at a good price, why not complete the look? |
