M8 nothings a stupid question on here!

[Phil Si]

worth askin the question but i rekon its a no no... as it looks like u'd need new wings.. and slam panel etc... and it might comprimise the chassis abit
would look kool if it could be done tho

[LeeSi]

So can it b done? and if so how?

[LeeSi]

Ok, if i was to do it. how much would i be expecting to pay?

[TJ]

alot

[fiesta_fras]

guessimate

slam panel £40
Wings (pair) £300
Lights £250
Bonnet £200
painting fitting and welding £500+

Almost right Fraiser!


* slam panel : £100
* Wings : £90 each
* Lights : £90 each
* Bonnet : £150
* Welding : £500+
* Painting : £400+

....but a very close guesstimate!!!

By the way, the front slam panel design on the Mk4/5 is _totally_ different to that of the Mk3 which makes swapping them out virtually impossible. You could do it but you would risk vastly reducing the structural integrity of the front end of the car, which I'm not sure either you or your insurance company would appreciate

Point Taken. It looks like my Si is for sale then. Got to get a Mk5. Cheers for the help.

Can be done! If we can put Astra Coupe Turbo lights on a Fezza te most things can happen - but as said above the whole front end structure would be comprimised.

Drop us a mail, by the way if you didn't know that bonnet has had a bonnet extension and washer jets removed

Chameleon,

Care to post some pics of the Astra headlighted FRST up here then?!

Just a minor point, but what's the point of a styling mod that comprimises the safety of the car?!

[Chameleon]

The Pictures will be posted when the car is completely finished, which won't be for a while yet.

Personally some things I wouldn't do and some things I would, with the headlight conversion we are doing the structure of the car is being fully re-strengthen.

I was pointing out that it could be done, but also could cause structual problems, especially if it's not done correctly, or if it's being done cheaply.
Many people ask us to do mad things, and virtually anything is possible, but as with most things there are danger, as long as people are aware of these sort of dangers then it is there choice!

However I do see your point, and anything that drastically disfigures the cars structure we would have to think about the pros and cons of it...

Will try and get you some pics very soon, as it happens the headlight conversion doesn't require as much structual changes as you may think.

Cheers
