[kale]

from this standard front to the seca model ive had a look it look's like it would work body lines and sutch all line up it would mean from what i can see new guards, bonnet, lights and indicator and grill but would it look alright? :hmm:

Just go back and take two photos from exactly the same position and photochop it. Those are close, but the angle is slightly different. Stand around a small area and shoot 50 photos of one car, then go and take one of the other. Somewhere you will find a match.

I was trying to do this with an AE82 front on an RA60 the other day... didn't look as good as I'd hoped :(

Oh- don't forget to get them the same colour! :laff:

 

The fit is pretty good really. I'm afraid a cat bumped my hand when I was cutting the front guard!

Not bad, good job!

 

Better that the stock fromt IMO.

I'd fix the dent in the sill 1st. Original front end looks all right.

yeah i reacon i have idea what happend now looks like who ever owned it befor me must of beached it on a corner gutter or something

another question what about the hip line that the hatch has? gonna look like ass if you don't remove it from the rest of the body as the seca doesnt have this line :wink:

 

i say just change the front bar to something a little different like a sprinter or fxgt one

I fitted the same bumper to my gze ae82, sold it shortly afterwards. The bar only cost me $60 brand spanking, and had to make custom mounts to fit it to the ae82, but the ae9x series might line up. I think i have pics somewhere, and others have done it too. I imagine the grilles etc should be pretty compatible.

actually physically remove or just fill with body filler?
