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.

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.

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

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
