    From my exspert-tees in car modifiecations, Which is hardly anything. Id say no as it looks more squareish. (If we are onabout the same car here)

    id say its a straight forward swap but you might need a front slam panel too ;)

    As above.

    hardly worth the effort, the facelift is a bit of a dogs dinner of a job.

    Naw its not me, its the op.

    Even if it takes some fabrication, does that not just make it more interesting and unique?

    I say go for it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 73,363 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    I don't get how it makes it interesting. Looks like a vvti, hasn't a vvti engine and has an older reg. how is that interesting?

    Well people will be like "Oh i see a vvti" car gets closer, "Its 97". "cool".:cool:

    Seems like so much effort just for that. If I saw it I'd be thinking 'mustnt have been able to find the right front end, sloppy panel beater'


    This isn't like putting s15 lights on an s14,

    Ya, I see what your saying.

    But im just after thinking and sure it probly wont even fit. My mother got a mirror fir her car, It was off a 03 yaris and her car is 01. There wasent a hope in hell of getting it on.

    The 03 facelift ones are different alright.

    way i see it is that you could pick up a pre-facelift mabey with small front end damage for handy money sell what ever parts you can, buy the facelift parts and end up with a far better looking car for half the price.

    what you think :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 73,363 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    The facelift looks even worse than the original though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9 carina 2


    na facelift is far nicer i think


  • Registered Users Posts: 73,363 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    Oh right. Work away so :confused:

    I meant the process rather than the over all product, however I have no problem with people making purely aesthetic mod's to their cars as long as it's not along the lines of a MASSIVE body kit.

    Hi OP, not sure if this is what you're looking for but here is a 1995 Corolla with that newer front on it, I'm not actually sure what it really is to be honest but I'd be inerested in what other people have to say about it.
