Default bug eye front end conversion

hi all

i just wondered if it is possible to change the front end of a bug eye to a blob eye by just changing the bumper, bonnet wings and head lights. are the parts a straight swap or would there be a bit of chopping about.
thanks
jay

A bit of chopping about on the front panel mate , we sell conversion kits made by chargespeed if you're thinking of doing it .

I may have a set of those chargespeed adaptor kits coming up for sale soon, unused.

For anyone else doing this facelift, a couple of the snags we've hit today I will describe below...

Some help needed for bug to blob facelift...

I need to know whatever it is that allows you to mount a blob:
  • front bumper
  • grill
  • lamps (are there meant to be brackets near the grill?)



Other than obviously the correct 2003-05 bumper iron, what else is missing for the top of the bumper and grill to mount too?


Secondly

Also need one of each of these, they are push in front wing clips for headlamp, 2003-2005 I'm missing one yellow type, one grey/white needed
