Default Facelifting a classic...guide anywhere??/

Hi,

Im sure i have seen a guide for fitting facelift parts to a classic, it was a red car. cant find it anywhere.

Basically i have just changed my v4 front bumper for a v6 bumper, its gone on fine, but what should i do about the brake ducts???

Any pictures would be great.

Thanks
Chris

tbh i wasnt intending to change the bumper. but it came up for sale and i couldnt resist.

All i got was the bumper and indicators tnohing else.

The curved metal brackets near the wheel i made fit. The top into the wing was find and the one below into the car was fine. however the bottom had no lug like the older bumper. So thats got a cable tie round it.

The bumper is a close enough fit and it looks good Not as perfect as i would have hoped but good enough. my only beef is that i've not put the brake ducts back on.as they dont Really fit. The bracket is in the way. Hence why i would love some pics of peoples installs

Broke about 5 clips, but the new bumper required much less. so no problem. Yet to take the car for a spin but the bumper seems on enough i think. and it looks good. Just need a nice p1 splitter now
