Xc60 upgrading mk1 front end to mk2

Driweris · Feb 24th, 2019, 20:52

Looking for some information guys.

Was checking everywhere but no luck..
I have XC60 D5 AWD late 2012 (62 plate) and would like to upgrade front end to facelift model (2014-2017). Anyone of you done this before? Is it straight swap bumper, headlights and bonnet?
Thank you for any information 👍

I've thought about this because the new shape front end looks much better.

Having studied lots of pictures, I think the wings are different too.

You may have electrical issues as well with the difference DRL arrangements.

Wings are the same..
Yes can be some electrical issues but everything it’s possible

Done this on my insignia..fom old shape to new..it was nice project

Can't help thinking you might be better off spending your cash on a performance upgrade rather than a makeover.
I'd rather have a a Wolf in Sheep's clothing rather than the other way round but then again I have often found myself in a majority of 1!

That sounds interesting have you gone any further with the upgrade ?

I too would be very interested in what would be involved with this project.

Probably staying with the old face

It’s possible and not very difficult..if you will go for used parts frome ebay it will be at least £1k..
I dont facelifting to my insignia before

Will be doing some different modifications instead of facelifting this time
