Is it possible to fit the later rear light clusters to the pre facelift cars?

Thank you for your help guys, i'm new here - basically I rescued a 325 sport from an abusive owner and am attempting to breathe some love into her.

anything is possible dude, but you will need a different rear panel to start with, they are not a direct bolt-up replacement. It's a bodyshop job put it that way.

The later ones are taller, so whilst anything's possible, it'd be a hell of a lot of work... I'd concentrate on other things! Good luck & welcome to the zone :cool:

Thanks guy! I've just been reading about retro fitting the later bodykit too...an equal mission it seems - but a challenge is always a good thing.
