Mk1 Front for a 2005 Facelift: The Pitfalls

freelancer · 13th April 2024, 18:40

Having thought about this in the past and as I'll hopefully be getting some Platinum Gold paintwork done after the sill pieces I have from Tom Hobbs are welded in this summer, I've thought again (so as to make the vehicle as pleasing as can be) to source a 2nd hand Mk1 front bumper, have it sprayed and fit it.....

Mk 1 Front, Facelift Rear: is that such a no no? Obvs, purists will say so and I acknowledge that point but I am tempted.

What other pitfalls would I encounter if I went down that path? I can think already:

Change Facelift Xenon headlights for Mk 1 headlights
Also different style front side repeater and fog lights
Do all Mk 1 fronts have headlamp washers
Aything else?
