would it need a new bonnet?
I'd imagine (I may be wrong) that the front panel would want changing for mounting the headlamps and I am guessing you'd need arch liners as well.
God knows if everything will bolt on like for like as I would also guess the mounting brakets may not line up.
yes you will need to change the bonnet.

tbh i havent checked lol. i just wanted some expert advice to see what could go wrong etc. Its got 115k on the clock and its a bit shabby on the paint job
not bad for a first car but id love it to have the facelift front end on... sounds like a big ball ache though!

Whichever has fuel
MATT BLACK (forum name) did his.
Its the same car underneath so all exterior panels should just bolt on.

I wouldnt even bother. Unless you know someone who runs a scrap yard and can get you all the bits for next to nothing and then have a mate who'd do the spraying and fitting for you I would steer well clear of doing that, especially to a 115k car as the work involved is probably more than the car is worth. save the money.
