As the 3 door and 5 door wings are both the same i was wondering if a VXR J front bumper would fit onto a 5door J .
If they do fit are they a direct swap or would there be some fabrication needed?

The wings are not quite the same.
In terms of front bumper this has been a debate for many years, with no real clear answer.
Some say no it needs modifying to fit others say it will fit.
I know of 1 person who claimed it was a fit without modification & they claimed they did it on their car but as soon as photos were asked for the person stopped replying.

As rusty says front wings and bonnet are different, I've just checked parts catalogue, I would imagine to you would need new front panel and gtc headlights minimum but haven't checked all that.
