    Pre facelift and facelift

    Hi I think you need to fit a nose cone from a facelift car then the grilles will fit!

    Also the side indicators on the wings are different

    Copy and paste:

    Different wings / repeaters, different nose cone panel / different grilles. Later grilles were wider and more convex, earlier thin / concave. Later repeaters are smaller / neater and no black plastic surround, wings are basically the same but have a smaller hole for the different style repeater.

    If you do end up doing it I should have some facelift side repeaters and may be interested in taking the prefacelift nose cone and grilles from you if in good nick.

    Nosecone and grills. (Pre-Facelift grills are skinier)
    Wings are different, (Larger hole for Indictors on pre-facelift)
    Wing Indicators (Pre-Facelift Indicators have a visible screw in them and have a black plastic around them)
    Clusters are also different,
    Headlights changed in mid '94 to the Bosch top with the bobbles at the top.


    Everything can be swapped over, You need to change the full nose cone and grills.
