Pre-Face lift grill onto post face lift.

Hello there...i have a 89 micra k10 and really like the look of the pre facelift front grills..just wondering what the fitting is like onto the post facelift models, also if anyone has one knocking about i'd be keen to buy!
 
its not a straight swap im pretty sure they're not the same fitting but im sure if can be made fit,
some of the other lads here prob have done it before
 
You'll need more than just the front grill... You'll need the bonnet too... Add to that the headlights aswel... I may be wrong but i'm pretty sure that's what you need... I vaguely remember needing the wings too ???
I have a pre facelift so i've never needed to change... plus i'm more a fan of my facelift k10's

Yup you need everything off of the front end, i've been wanting to do it to mine cause my mate had a prefacelift. but his front wings were rotten though.
 
If you just want the grill it is so possible and easy

It requires a little trim at each end, the bottom clips in at original points and then it just needs the top securing. I used steel repair strips and my second favourite,after cable ties:D, method of fixing...self tappers. ;)

You haven't you got a blog? I wanna see more of your car, that's an order!
 
thanks alot man, i thought it would be easy enough just needed that info...hahahaha no way on earth would you have to replace the full front end just to get a grill on...having a larrrff boys
 
but not right, i wasn't stating opinion, the prefacelift has different lights/bonnet/wings ect..
But that IS your opinion. Do you mean it doesn't look like a pre facelift? I don't want it to, I want it to look like a facelift with a pre facelift grill ;) Surely that is what 'modified' cars are about? Who's to say what is and isn't right, modification IS all about opinion......
 
I don't understand what you mean by not right. My car has minilight alloys from a classic mini, does that mean that because it doesn't look like a mini its not 'right'? :confused: Going on what you deem to be right does that mean that I can only fit K10 parts, and only facelift parts at that, for it to be 'right'? Going back to the OP the question was about fitting a pre facelift grill to a facelift car, not how to make a facelift look like a pre facelift. :rolleyes:

Hahaha yeah that was the original question and i got my answer..cheers boys haahahaaa
 
if you could beg/borrow/steal a heat gun, you can buy lens tint fim on ebay, i done my two headlights and park lights yellow and top half of my tail lights black for roughly £5 incl p&p goes on real simple if you can get a heat gun , plus it takes like ten mins in all, i done mine and thought the film is handier than spraying ( okay i lie i got the film cheaper than tint spraypaint :p )

no clue who i bought mine off but here's a sample,

Just to clear up aswell. the wings are the same, just different shape sidelights.
