Yes mate, just change the bonnet, lights, grill and bumper. Wings are the same.
Job done

That sounds like a pain in the ***! Are the light fitments all the same? Are there any other issues or is it quite a simple swap?

I'm not so sure the wings are the same. Where the wing meets the light - on the pre-facelift it's curved, on the MY03 it's much straighter.

He's talking about a classic, but yes, the MY03 front wings are different to the MY01/02

I was under the impression there was a problem with the scoop-->intercooler arrangement in this swap - is this not the case?
