Blimey, this sounds like a job and a half! iirc someone has done this before.

Good luck fella.

Why do you want to do it ? When you come to sell it on folk will think it's had a major front end smack.

i wana b diffrent n i wont sellin it for a few years yet

 

[cat171]

It's not really being different though is it ? All your doing is making your car look a bit newer. It'll still be on the same reg (unless you've got a private plate hiding the reg of it)

ok

buy a ph2?

The clio TT had a front end conversion......

edit: boosh beat me, meh!

the cliott was changed from ph1 to ph2 front end,

nothing will ever line up properly iirc, the headlights didnt for sure

 

[The Boosh!]

yeh you can proper tell jord but did look better imo

 

[cat171]

It does look better with the updated front end yeah. Matt had the knowledge to sort it all out. I'm not saying that the OP doesn't, but I bet it's not an easy job at all.

For a normal road car I don't see why folk would do it, seems a waste of time & effort to me tbh.

 

[The Boosh!]

i agree cat... that car was "not normal" any way so new front end wasn't going to affect the value of the car etc... i wouldn't do it to a stock clio..

i cn understand what ur saying people but like stated ive got a private plate and its my project car and i got it well cheap but i perfer th leter front end thats y i wana do
does any1 no what parts i actully need please

 

[madmike1]

i think youve mentioned everything you would need. never done it before so there might be a few suprises and you may need something else but i doubt it

 

[The Boosh!]

u may need the arch linings aswell

IIRC ive seen loads of pics on here from when matt black did the swap of styles on the TT when he had it, looked like a fair bit of work structure wise where the slam panel goes together etc, not 100% though, and dont know where the pics are now

 

[The Boosh!]
