Just the lights. LOL

Seriously, the rest is up to you. Can you live with the slightly "off" shutlines the new lights will cause? If so, change them and be damned to it.
If not, grille and bonnet ned changed too.

Why not put the new lights in and have a look? Or do image searches to see the effect? Google is your friend.

BTW: Crystal lights are just as cr@p as the older ones for actually SEEING by

I fitted the lights on their own, & the gap looked worse than above, so i fitted grill too.
The bonnet gap now annoys me!
This is how mine looks;



Doesnt look too bad from a distance, but when i was fitting it i was obviously right next to it so now it bothers me a bit!

Doesn't look too bad. Your front bumper looks worse for wear though, mine is pretty bad too

Been tempted to get a grille, splitter and lights myself to make the front of mine look a bit more aggressive. The gap doesn't look too bad though so I may just do it.

I also have a 94 and have changed the front end...a few times.

V1/2 This was when i got her.


V3/4 After a few meets with my local club and looking at later versions i decided to facelift the lights/grill/bonnet.....a little eager to but the bonnet on and didnt line it up to well thats why there is a gap. All sorted now.


V5/6. After that i changed the Bumper/lights (again) and Grill (again) i should of just bought a V6 from the start lol



All parts are a straight swop. Im pretty sure you'll change the bonnet and grill so everything alines well.
