Cut the metal rear valance out of the the back of the car, as it sit's lower and further out than the tech 1 item. Get creative with mounting the metal bumpers to the rear. You can either chop the ones off you plastic bumpers and weld to the metal one, or make new holes in the body for the exsiting metal bumper one. The front is easy, You will need the early valance and bupmer carrier's. All bolt on.

Cheers for the advice. A few things to cover off to see if this is gonna be worth while.....

If I cut the rear valance off does that have ANY detrimental effects handling wise for rigidity or anything else? Also if someone could provide pictures of the valance and specifically where to cut from?

Rear arches probably worry me the most, whats the score with the fitment here? Any modifications required?

So just so I can get an idea of parts required do I need any older prefacelift bits, I know I need a front valance and metal bumper with fittings, anything else?

This seems quite a popular subject and Im reasonably happy to give this a go, and Il document with pics all the way provided I can do it?!
