pm me with an email address and i will send you a how to guide, on an old site not longer hosted.

but basically you need a later model front valance, front and rear bumper struts, modification to the existing bumper mounting points, the rear bumper needs modification to fit to the older wheel arch profile, and you need to fit the later bumper side mounts....and you need the later tech 2 bumpers. if you look in articles section on the link above i explain a little bit on how they fit on, and the other guide i mentioned above explains the whole thing.

if your car is a convertable however its much easier as the rear arch profile is the same as the facelift cars.

oh yeah welcome to the zone
