The bumpers wont fit but all the shado lin trim dus and you can get chrom round the windos and replac the wedj that holds frunt and back wind screans in with chrome. Not so long ago i colour matched my bumpers
And replast all the chrome trim with new black plastc and ruber
And no I did not keep eny of it

Prefacelift bumpers do go, but it is a lot of work.

In addition to the bumpers you need the mounts, the front valance, the indicators, fogs and lower valance piece.

You then need cabriolet rear bumper ends to fit up to the facelift rear arches and to custom make some rear bumper mounts as the facelift ones are totally different.

All depends how much you want to get some chrome on there.

If you want info on how to do it then look for a tech 1 touring thread by Nelly and I can help out a bit as i have most of the bits from Nellys old touring.
