Giving my '05 a 2010 facelift! - Page 8

Welton · Jul 16th, 2010, 16:38

Am thinking this face-lifting will become mighty popular in the next few months.......

The aim is to do it cheaply!! Ebay for the majority of parts like bumpers and FRF for things a bit more difficult to source like grilles and reflectors.
Good luck!

My facelift is perfect, I'm so happy!!

Finally I'm painting and the spoiler is ready for colour.
The bumper has been spot filled (stone chips) and ready for sanding/primer.
Starting to be a summer holiday project if I can get the time.

Last parts in transit (rear bumper reflectors) then it's just labour and passion!

Ben, have a look at ebay item - 110561849416
18" wheels for a good price.
Nothing to do with me, just thought I'd let you know.

are the rear light clusters the same shape? I prefer the older style over the newer but would like to change front / rear bumpers to freshen up the look

BenB · Jul 23rd, 2010, 23:02

Jason - they look like a great price, really good, just a shame they need tyres! However I'm keeping my 17's, I really like how they look so that's not something I'm gonna spend money on.

s40_kid- the rear bumpers are taller up the sides, so to keep the standard rear lights you'd need to cut the bumpers down or something!! I did consider doing that, but it would look terrible I think, so I'm waiting on some cheap rear lighta to come up to do it properly! The '08 front lights are slimmer I think, so the '08 front bumper wouldn't fit over '04 headlights

Guys, Great effort! I'm really impressed with the work you've all done well done!
