Default Morette headlamps help!?!?!

I've got a '93 Impreza WRX and want to get these headlamps fitted, it says 'Early Impreza models require the 1996 or later front grille to be fitted.' -
Lighting - Impreza 1993-2000 : Lighting - Impreza 1993-2000 : Morette Quad Headlamp Conversion [t_moretteclassic.jpg] - £339.99

Is this the correct grille? Anyone know if it would fit a '93 impreza?

And with that front grille it says i will need a late bonnet too! So a newer style bonnet needs to be fitted too?!?!

Sounds expensive but i want it anyway, has anyone done this to their early imprezas?

It is a pain having to change both the grille and the bonnet in order to fit the Morettes, but they do look good, and give improved lighting...

That grille is a my99/00 one, that one actually protrudes over the bumper slightly, but i prefer that to the 98 one that doesn't go over the bonnet...... one other point to note is whether the scopp arrangement on the newer bonnet will be ok with your intercooler etc.....

You defo need to change the grill to the facelift model grill and yes the
my99/00 grill protrudes over the bumper a little and looks far more aggressive. As for the bonnet if your not ready to do this yet, you can actually get away with keeping the old bonnet. You'll just have little gaps above the headlight which aren't really that noticable. Heres a pic of how mine used to look, ignore the grill though as thats part of a bodykit bumper.
