Can any body advise, i want to fit twin headlights on my 94wrx but have been told that they won't match up with the bonnet (leave a gap) as they are only supplied for facelift cars, i have also been told that the lights may go on if i fit a facelift bonnet and grill????
it may sound like an expensive way of doing it but i would like the bonnet and grill off the facelift model anyway.......
Cheers, Rob

There are a couple of pre-facelift cars with quads but I don't know where they got them from. Speak to either POC (http://www.p-o-c.co.uk/) or Markus (http://www.markuswarren.co.uk/cars/howto/morettefitting.html) they'll point you in the right direction.

If you want to change the bonnet with the newer shape one I think you will need new sidelights, headlights, grill and of course bonnet so it may not be very cheap. I presume you have the angled intercooler so a newer bonnet might not be a good idea as you may not get the same airflow to the intercooler!

I did a facelift on my car and simply retro fitted the scoop off the old bonnet to the new bonnet and it sits in the existing intercooler like a glove .

I had to make some alterations to it but it didnt take me long all I needed was rivets and some metal off cuts and hey presto it seems to work fine.
