Facelift Conversion

Firstly, this is a really easy but expensive mod. If your thinking of doing this, I'd look at trading my car in and buying a facelift! In all, it probably cost nearly ?1000 or just under. That's for painting and mostly new parts.

As I did this quite some time a go I cant remember all the bits and pieces so this is a general guidance not a full how to do it. There are a number of members on the Forum who have done this mod so if you have any Questions, please do a forum search or read the the How 2 discussion thread as more than likely they've been asked before, hopefully the other "Facelifters" will be able to help particularly.

So to start with you'll need not so much an extensive tool kit, but a varied one, torx heads and normal hex heads etc, spanners, a drill, rivet gun, patience and a friend.

Parts - In no way exhaustive

2 x Wings
2 x Headlamps
1 x Bonnet
1 x Bumper (+ grills etc)
2 x Wheel liners (Not 100% if you need these)
1 x Slam Panel (Or you can just use your old one and drill a few more holes for the headlamps)
1 x Impact limiter and arms (Not 100% again, but my previous one caused the bumper to bulge slightly - So I ended up getting one from a facelift - didnt look any different, but bumper did fit better.)

Various other little bits, bumper guides, bonnet stay, rivets, bonnet release handle etc... there are quite a few and I'm sure as this thread is discussed all these will be listed and this thread edited to suit. Its probably a good idea to get a printout of the little bits you'll need either from a member with the official EPC and TIS or even better Vauxhall themselves.

JUST to clarify, if any members have anything to add to this How 2, please PM us with the details and we'll add it! Every little helps guys!
