Frontend Conversion to Facelift.

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to do front conversion. My car is 99 C2, and here is the list of what I got so far.

- Headlights
- Fenders(including headlights tray)
- Front Bumper
- Wireing Plugs

Do I need anything else? I thought this is about it.
Does anyone know the wireing diagram?
Any tips?

Hlep me please!!!

Thanks

Does this really worth it?? Just keep your money and save some more and buy a facelift.

I got all the parts already, and they were about $1000. It's not bad. Isn't it? When I sell my head light It will paid off.

Try this... Although they are going for the GT3 look it still discribes the MK1 to MKII conversion.

Hey guys....I have a 99C2 with a full gt3 aero kit but think the front end looks very dated.....I live in the UK and the market has taken a nose dive.....car is worth maybe £16,000........being the car is worth so little now I am thinking of doing a front end 997 gt3 conversion.
Has anyone done this.....if so what is the best kit to go for....i have seen lots of fibre glass conversions but i think these will look ****e and cheap chavy looking.....do you know of any kits that at least use oem fenders?

any help would be great :-)
