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

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

andy · 29-08-09, 07:27 PM

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

john johnson · 29-08-09, 07:31 PM

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

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!
