Folks,

Looking for help again (although it is down the list of priorities after finally getting my white VR4 back). Anyhow, I bought Beastlee's motor and have a spare bumper taking up my garage as the other is cracked and not so fresh.

The "new" bumper is facelift and the motor is pre. Beastlee mentioned that I need to buy a new grille, as well as new fog lights etc. Anyone have an idea of what I require and where to get it?

Another option is that if anyone is looking for a facelift bumper, give me a shout and you can take it away during the forthcoming Scottish mini-meet....

I'll set another thread up for this later but anyone fancy rebuilding my Ambulance's engine? Free board, lodging and mountain biking while you're here!!

Thanks,

Pete

The bumper will bolt straight on, but the grille is a slightly different shape. There will be a shape on the top edge of the bumper for the facelift grille, which looks strange if you fit the prefacelift grille.

You don't have to fit foglights - you could just put mesh there. But the foglights are a different shape between the two bumpers.

what he said ^^^

The facelift front bumpers look quite nice without the fogs imho, but you do need to get the facelift grill. Fortunately for you, you aren't looking for a needle in a hay stack, lots of UK cars came with that grill, so it should be easy to find one.
