Hi guys,

I've been thinking about doing a facelift conversion.

Besides the obvious changes that need to be made;
Bonnet, headlights,fenders,front bumper.

Do you have to make any other changes.. IE. Rad support?

Would be good to hear from anyone that's done this conversion.

Cheers

Thanks guys.

I've already got CTR rear bar with the lip so yeah..

just need the rear lights but im not fussed about that..

so it's just a matter of replacing guards,bonnet etc yeah?

I always thought they had different rad supports.

i think i remember zco mentioning that there's a bit of cutting and welding involved with the supports..

ive done the facelift on my EJ8... the support you dont need to change... but just as you put the facelifted parts on you will know what to cut off a few things and redrill a few things... esp headlights, bumper bar and grill is where you need to do a few adjustments to put them in as mentioned...
