facelift conversion - front end [2002/5 to 2006/9]

There are a couple of differences: you can re-use the bumper reinforcement bar, you do need to open the fog light holes to fit.
The spoiler mount is different: there are 4 arms on the old crossbar that the tow eye is attached to and I don't know if they allow the new spoiler bits and bumper skin to fit (I had to replace that on my car as it had been in an accident. That was the immediate reason for my upgrade too .). I don't remember ever reading anything about anyone having probs, so in theory it should fit. In a pinch they can be cut off too.

The 06-09 wings are flush where they butt up against the lights. You'll need to cut off the metal tab that sticks fwd about 1" into the headlight area (the turns signal rests on this on the earlier models). This tab also holds the inner wing to the outer, so you need to attach this: Adam from L322.com (site is gone) used auto body glue - I used aluminium angle and alum pop rivets.

The original bumper corner brackets fit better than the new ones I purchased (I might have modified them a bit with the grinder)

The wheel well liners don't fit either but with a little creativity they can be adapted. I made new attachment points and used the plastic rivets to hold everything in place.

Headlight plugs do not fit - you'll need new plugs. They are avail for GBP60 on ebay or GBP15 from http://www.simtekuk.co.uk/

Wiring info can be found here in the forum or at RR.net. If you can't find anything give a shout back.


Here are the absolutely necessary parts as far as I remember (I assume no liability )
- bumper skin
- plastic bumper mounting 'bar' (long plastic piece that holds the headlights and bumper skin top in place)
- fog lights and rings
- washer nozzles and covers (you'll need a new high pressure pump to make these work)
- headlights + grill
- spoiler bits (3 pieces IIRC)
- 'wing' spoiler between the 2 bumper end bits (between bumper and lower spoiler)
