Hi Guys,

 

The SG update that seems to have been released around 2005 with the updated head lights, grille, etc - is it feasable to swap this onto one with the previous front end treatment?

 

Here is the current look -

This is the potential donor car -

Any idea of effort, complications, advice?

guards, bonnet, grill, lights, reo, bumper, wiring up hid washers, possibly front radiator support was well. more effort than its worth.

so many factory front end option available for 03-05 sg its rediculous.

Have you put any more thought into squeezing some more power out of the engine. Like strapping on one of those intake fans

As cam mentioned its not worth the time, no one here has done it... But there was someone in the US that did it... http://www.subarufor...nversion-89410/

Why do that anyway when you can do this for cheaper and have that aggressive front end..... :drinks:
