Converting MY93 into facelift front end
Hi there, ive just bought an MY93 subaru impreza and im not too fond of the front end lights and grill. Just wanted to know if there was anything i could do to make it look like a facelift model by changing the front headlights, front grill and bonnet(want to put on a big bonnet scoop and change the ugly small vents). i.e. do the facelift parts bolt straight on or do they not fit the same? And i mean like the version 4 with the headlights, grill and bonnet. Not version 5 or 6, want to leave the bumper as it is.
I appreciate any help
Thanks

Just doing this to my car. Facelift is to be treated as 2 halfs. Bumper being the bottom half and bonnet, lights and grill being the top half. You can simply change bumpers without touching the top half or change bonnet, lights and grill without touching the bottom half. I went the full version 6 route and am changing everything. If you need any advice just ask. If your changing the bonnet make sure its a facelift bonnet from an import as these are alloy unlike the unbeliveably heavy steel bonnets on the uk car. I got mine from Japanese performance parts in Crawley, bit of a drive for me, but no one will post a bonnet for fear of damage. Hope this helps

Your not going to get one cheap any where as their like rocking horse sh*t! (rare as f*ck). I bought mine from Japanese Performance Parts in Crawley, i paid £300 for it, most companys wanted £400 and thats if they could get hold of one. Thats your best bet mate.
