Just to clarify, do you mean that so long as I switch all the parts together as a group (all pre 97) I will be ok..? Incidentally I had a quick look on eBay for headlights and some are listed as fitting 1992-2000 which looks promising.

I'm looking to buy a 1999 2.0 GL wagon but much prefer the earlier pre-facelift nose. Does anyone know how straightforward a process, unfacelifting might be? I don't have any cars to examine but looking at pre/post facelift photos, it appears that the front wings/fenders and lamp units are essentially the same so I was hoping the substructure and mounting points for hinges and catches would be also. Basically, can I bolt on an early type bonnet/hood, grille and front valance or is it likely to be much more complicated? Cheers Jonny
