I have 1993 wrx import with standed pre facelift bonnet and bumper but just got my self same facelift headlights.Want to change the grill to a facelift one.I found one but don't know if it will fit with my pre facelift bonnet and if not which one then please?

 

Any one?

 

led to believe you need to fit a facelift bonnet as well as light's and grill.

 

No, it wont fit. You will need a my99 bonnet to suit the facelift grill. Otherwise you can use your existing grill with the updated headlights.

 

yes it does fit.. not perfectally but close enough

 

Hi lads.Thanks for the replies but would the V3-V4 grill fit better because i don't realy want to change my bonnet.This is a V3-4 grill.

 

Ive had one of those on my car as well and the shape where it meets the bonnet is the same as the V 5/6 one so still wont quite fit a pre facelift bonnet.

cool i might di this because i wanted to do the same, but not change the bonnet

 

so what we saying it will / wont fit ?

Flib`s looks o.k yet others say it wont fit ???????

 

There's "fit", then there's "fit"

What we are saying is that it WILL fit, (go into place), but it won't fit exactly, ie: the shutlines will be wrong, although you can live with them unless you are a perfectionist

 

cheers,from what ive found from searching there are 2 facelift grills.

The 1st lot of the facelift 96/97 and the later 98/99/00 have a bigger/wider one,which is the one i want.

all confusing !!!

cheers

 

The Head lights & grill will fit without you changing the Bonnet.

You have to Mod the grill slightly by cutting away some of the front edge where the bonnet shuts to & widen the release catch hole.
I did this many Years ago on my classic when i fitted Morettes & a face lift grill, I did do a how to way back then....


Erm... Here you go..

Blimey way back in March 2003

You need a Bonnet Nah ..

When i fitted mine i didnt cut the grille at all, but i do have to use my little finger to undo the bonnet catch as space is rather tight
