Default Front end conversion

Ok, i have got a bugeye wrx, now i was thinking of changing the front end to the blobeye, now i trying to work out what i would need, 2 front wings, bonnet and scoop, front bumper, headlights, and front panel, has anyone ever done this and how hard is it to do, oh and how much, i suppose it depends on where you get them from, example might get a few bargains off ebay, i know i could sell the front end bits off mine to go towards the blobeye bits, i have the sti lights fitted so should get about £250 for them hopefully, any help would be nice. thanks steve

Why change it fella? Blobeye front end on a bugeye would just spell trouble when you sell the car in the future? No offence intended.

The reason is m8, i will get next to nothing for my bugeye as cars prices have dropped loads, plus bugeyes are going for next to nothing anyway, and i would like a blobeye, but like i say would get next to nothing for mine so it would be cheaper to do a front end conversion, than shell out a few thousand extra for a blobeye.
