Converting MY96 JDM WRX into Facelift Model

Can it be done, convert an MY96 WRX into the facelift frontend model or newer?

Whats involved....

Slam Panel?
Headlights?
Bumper?
Wings maybe?

Anything else?

Or is it possible to go all the way and bring it up to MY03 blob eye spec by replacing all the same parts?

Any help appreciated.

bumper, bumper bar.

blob eye could probably be done.. would require some work though. would have to check wing to door allignment.. anything else could be bodged..

Found a car then?
