Ph1 grill on ph3
#1
Hi just wondering if its possible to fit a ph1 grill onto a ph3. I prefer the look of the older grill. I know with the bumper you need the slam panel as well. Cant afford to get a bumper resprayed right now lol

No is the.simple.answer
There would be nowhere for the bonnet badge to go on the ph 3 bonnet, and the headlight are a different shape

I'm probably the only guy who wants to do a phase3 to phase 1 conversion lol
All the searches that come up are for ph1 to ph3

Regarding the bonnet i assume debadging the bonnet would work or would i need bumper/lights/grill and a bonnet?

So the headlights are different which means everything around them is different. As you have already said that's the bonnet, grille and the slam panel! You could probably fibreglass a phase 1 grille to make it bigger but its anything but a straight fit!

I'm wanting to put phase 3 crystals into my phase 1. Please advise me on whether I need to change the grille or bonnet. I can't be arsed to change the bonnet for the sake of headlights. A could stretch to a grill

IIRC the slam panel is different from ph1 to 2/3 Smile

Perhaps do a swap on headlights if you haven't got any yet. Just throwing a thought out there. What condition are your crystals in

Slam panel? Where the bonnet catch is?

I'd be running a badge less grill so no badge to cater for

Im guessing if the headlights are different, the bonnet will be too. We should just swap front ends (wish i had the money to do that lol)

I ended up finding a pic of a ph1 with a phase 3 bumper, didn't look good at all Undecided

Yeah I'm not sure if I wanna swap the bumper. I don't fancy a ph2/3 bonnet either. Perhaps I should just get a badgeless grill for the ph1

Or just find some angel eyes for the ph1

As tempting as it is, i think i'll just leave mine how it is. Too much cost in respraying parts to make a car look older and probably making it more difficult to sell in the future Undecided

I Can't see the point in spending several hundreds of pounds to get a car to look standard and older. I think I'll get some angel eyes and a badgeless grille and keep the originals in storage.

Have a look a black masks before you get angel eyes. Black masks look way better!

Yeah I've seen them. They do look cool. I was hoping to get rid of those horrid headlight lenses on the phase1. Any ideas?

Is prefer some clear ones

I prefer the look of the phase 1 front end, doesn't really bother me that its an older look. If i decide to keep it for a few years, i'll do it in the future
