Lightbulb Front end upgrade!

Hey folks. I have just recentley bought a 1995 1.6 fwd saloon Impreza... Lol Yeah i no 88bhp but hey i love Impreza's and this one is insurable. Thing is i would like to upgrade the front end from (pre facelift) to the 1998-2000 front.
Does this involve new bonnet, grille, headlights, bumper and also Wings too?
I would quite like a turbo look but am completley unsure of what to do!!
Can anyone help me out???

P.S found this site cityautosalvage.co.uk Would this be best for parts?
Any input much appreciated folks. Thanks

David

Tried esb's site however it is under construction. Do you think cityautosalvage.co.uk is worth a gander? Cheers
