hey mate, try running a search first :)

been covered numerous times. u'll need to change the fenders, bonnet, head lights and corner lights to make it all fit nicely. i think possibly even the radiator support? im not 100% sure.. i was thinking of doing this too a while back wen i had my sedan but i dont think its worth the effort...

Long story short, How picky are you, if you fit it on it won't line up with the guards around the wheel arch (it'll be short under the indicator) otherwise it'll line up. If you want to do it properly, you'll have to cut up some hatch guards and join front half onto the back half of the sedan as they are different length. You have to use the front half of the hatch as the sedan and hatch indicators are different. The headlights are the same, the rad support is the same and the bonnet can stay unless you want to be really annal about it and replace the whole thing

Yes, The corner lamps are Grady.
This is where I sound like one of the guys that told me it wasn't worth it and I was like "naaaah man it'll be sick" lol

Fit the hatch bar only, run it for a good 6 months and then do the full change if you still like it.
I think the hatch bar is more aggressive but in my opinion they make the front of the sedan too busy looking or even a little nose heavy. Sedan corner lamps are longer, the bar design looks more slender and seems to carry into the 4 door shape betterHard to explain until one day you look at it and get what I mean. Mabye sedans always look like that haha Ive ran the hatch bar for a long time. I'd change it back in a heart beat if it didn't mean painting the front again.

In saying all that if you need any tips for the conversion I'll help where possible
Cheers, Phil
