Facelift to Prefacelift cars...

[Roryt]

Hi,
I was wondering if i can put any part from a Facelift Ek to my Pre Facelift Ek, for example the front bumper, will it bolt straight on????

Thanks

Everything besides front end will fit. The guard, headlight, grille, front bar, bonnet, radiator support, front lip they only fit to respective eks.

Depends if you mean OEM fitment lol

I've seen plenty of pre face lift EKs with face lift type r front lip looks garbage but they made it fit lol

Tail-lights fit, rear bar will fit. Pretty much all of the front end is unique to each model.

you may have to mod the clips, some cars ive seen dont sit exactly flush but still look good

or you can get ej8 bars and slap them on to get that similar facelift look.



I wish you lick,

The front end will fit only if you are changing the whole shebang - ie. Headlights/Fenders/Bonnet/Bumper.

Front bumper will need to be cut slightly to allow the front bumper support to slip through - other than that, everything else bolts up to the factory hole locations - given that you have the correct "facelift" panels. Not too bad of a job IMO.

Peace.

wrong. you need to change radiator support

We didn't need to change it and it fit like a glove. Hence I mentioned the cut out from a bit of the bumper tab, as the EK9 front radiator support is slightly different (bumper support tabs are shorter and different shape).

But I guess if you want to go to the extent of changing the front radiator support aswell, assuming that you'll source a front cut - you may as well sell your car and buy an EK9 to save from the hassles! Just my 2c.

Peace.

I meant changing from preface to facelift.

Yeh we changes my mates 96 EK4 to a 99 EK9 without changing out the radiator support! It's flush as!
