grill/headlights
 

is it possible to put the earlier type grill and 2 headlights on my '88 wr?
same style as the '85 works car. anyone know how difficult it is/ where i could find the parts?

I think the bonnet is different Andy:idea:

you can, bonnet is same profile, just the struts are different underneath, yours has gas struts, early ones have a stay

can you dig it YES YOU CAN , yep

so it would just be the matter of swapping grill and headlights? or bonnet too?

same bonnet as mentioned, lights not a problem although i cannot comment on the plugs at the back......finding the actual grills and lights is another thing

Why though?

The bonnet is only diffent if it is an early car up to 81-82 after that all bonnets are the same

Works cars ran the outer of the twin headlamps with a wider grille that also came out about 6" from its standard facing...... Would be pre '85 as well being Grp 4 or A1/A2....

If your considering space for a FMIC then think again andy, theres an aweful lot more work involved that just the grille and outer headlamps....

the reason why is that i fancy building a rallp rep but mine being an '88 was never rallied, and i just love the looks of that front end!
im probably being dumb here jay but whats a FMIC??
after the problems with the car this week though getting seriously tempted to burn it!
