Pre-facelift conversion

[Jay88]

I have facelift vectra and want to convert it to a pre facelift (I prefer the look), I've spent a lot on this car so don't want to sell it and buy a pre facelift. I assume it can be done just the reverse from the facelift conversion how 2. Can anyone confirm what parts actually need changing, I know bonnet, wings, bumper and headlights but some say slam panel and wheel arch liners, reading conflicting info

What colour is your car mate? couldn't you find a member who wants to facelift and swap parts if thats even doable?

I watched @jon1.9cdti do a facelift so he might know

Silver Lightning is the best to "swap" with

[Jay88]

It's star silver 3, can get the parts on eBay quite cheap, just wanna make sure I get the right bits and not get halfway through and relies I need something else as well

[Woody]

You will need bonnet, wings, front bumper / grills / lights (incl foglamps maybe) and crash bar (unless you compromise).

Don't forget things like foglamps, headlight washers, parking sensors etc.

as contemplating face lifting it

To be honest guys my bumper is in quite poor condition, would need a respray. I've only had this vectra a couple of months, its not in the best of condition but I've sorted the mechanics now turning my attention to the bodywork. I thought about maybe buying a donor car cos I could do with a new boot lid and rear bumper aswell. Anyone got a pre-facelift star silver 3 that mechanically wise has had it?

Mate my bumper isn't perfect either, but far from scruffy.
I have an irmscher grille too, and SRI lights.
If you want to pop down over the weekend and compare/discuss I will be at the workshop in Aveley, close to M25 J30.
