Sprinter Front End Conversion

[the wack]

I have an ae95 sr5 4wd wagon and figured replacing the guards bonet and bumper and turning it into a sprinter wagon any ideas or words of wisdom, or am I just dreaming?

Define "Sprinter". There has been a Sprinter model of every Corolla series from KE10 to AE110. I assume you're referring to an AE86 though...

 

And if you want to be pedantic, the AE95 was called the Sprinter Carib in Japan, so it already is a Sprinter wagon :P

That is known as the AE92 "wagon face" (comes on the JDM diesel AE92 wagon, which is a different beast to the AE95 we got here), the AE92 Sprinter sedans and liftbacks had the Seca/AE95-style front end (what we call an AE92 Seca is actually a Sprinter Cielo in Japan). Note how it is the same overall shape to the headlights and guards as the normal AE92 sedan/hatch, which usually indicates that it isn't a Sprinter.

 

Here is the original fitment on an AE92 wagon

Wasnt the AE92 sprinter the model with the shorter grille and inbuilt fog lights (in the headlight housing?)

 

Also available from SA spec models?

 

Just floating random memories here.

Liftback

 

if you looking to swap the font end look you will pretty much need : -

 

basic setup

headlights with inbuilt fogs, grill to suit, front bumper, bonnet from a seca(as ae95 slight different due to original griil)

 

full setup

headlights with inbuilt fogs, grill to suit, parking lights/indicators, front gaurds with the corner marks on top as these plug into the indicators/parking lights, front bumper, bonnet from a seca(as ae95 slight different due to original griil)

Everyone has an opinion... and ultimately it is your car so do what you like to it. For me, those side marker indicator things look like arse... but i like the recessed headlights.

lol, believe it or not i was looking for the recessed headlight setup when i was driving my ae92 hatch. But i found it to expense at the time to source the setup so let it slide and now I'm glad i did as you right the corner lights do look like arse
