Does anyone know if its possible to change the grill on the pre facelift with the newer one. I've tried looking at the different grills on the bumpers and looks like on the facelift model the grill is lower on the bumper? Wouldn't mind havinf the newer looking front end!

You would need a facelift bumper (I have one for sale) grills new fogs / indicators and new brackets on the wing.

it can be done but will cost a few £££'s
