How easy is it to convert the front end of my 94 impreza to look like a 98 face lift model. I have seen this done on a couple of imprezas and wondered if there was any body work involved or wether or not i just have to replace the bonnet, lights & grill. Any help would be appriciated.

Done it on my car m8, just straight replace the bonnet, grill, bumper and headlights. No problem with stuff fitting.

Cheers for the help

I'd recommend going for the 99 front bumper & grill which will update the car further still & fits just the same

Just to add, you don't have to change your bumper (assuming it's the original triple slotted version) if you're facelifting to 98 spec as it's the same as the 94 bumper.

Just to give you an idea of how much difference a facelift makes, here's my car before and after:

That looks awsome, Have you put a wide arch kit on it as well, Tell Me more

Thats cheating JD,youve got different mirrors,headlight guards and sti covers LOL.

OK, it still looks the bizniss.

BTW mac,if you need the front end,pm me and I might be able to supply with it.

Thanks guys.

Sorry mac8, wasn't my intention to hijack the thread. Just wanted to give you an idea of what a difference a facelift can make to the early classics (notwithstanding fog blanks, headlight guards, etc. _

They're the normal arches, by the way. I guess it's just the angle I took the second picture at that makes the car look a bit chunkier than in the first one.
