Yes.
It's a ball-ache: none of the wires form the clocks match up, and the whole dash has to come out as the clocks are a different shape. THEN you'll need to change the front doorcards too

Unless you ABSOLUTELY can't do so, change the car instead

I've just had a flocked full pre facelift dash kit delivered including centre console, gearstick surround for £160 pretty good considering is wasn't service exchange. Why don't you think about doing that?? Looks far better than standard

Easier to change the car in all honesty I did it some years back and ruinedy car even the heater matrix and blow is different the dash support bar also then there is the wiring difference it's a massive job basically a complete loom swap is best and poss only way I wouldn't ever attempt it again
