imho the blob is the best looking scoob (I am on my third) but I know many people prefer the hawk. As for the parts, there are a few parts on ebay at the minute to give you an idea (also, is the slam panel different? If so don't forget about this)

If anyone with an O2C blue hawk wants a blob front end conversion PM me. Might be an obvious solution.

Slam panel, headlamp panel, cross member are different. As are the hawk inner wings.

You've probably seen this but Scott at Scooby Spares has a complete Hawk front end for sale from a Spec-D they are breaking. He's got it at £2k on ebay at the moment it seems so if you move now you'll get all the bits you need I'd imagine.

The correct way is the way I told you the full front upper panel and headlamp panels,

The guy in that link has chopped his headlight panels or as I like to say cocked it.

The upper slam panel is about £60 new.

You also need the hawk bonnet lock and the bonnet stay too.

Do it right because if you chop them then ever have a front end bump your guna be uninsured.

Insurance is a fair point.

However i got a FMIC on and don't have that main front panel...

Another Q.. are the inner arch liners the same apart from the base where they reach forward to meet the front bumper?
