    Front wings,

    Bonnet, (with locking mechanism)

    Front Grill,

    Headlights,

    Headlight lower trims,

    I think the slam panel is the same on all saxos and so is the front bumper.

    as j222jra says, btu youll need a MK2 slam pannel as well, they are a different shape.

    bumper is the same though.

    I think you might have to chop a little bit of the slam pannel off IIRC. There is a guide on here I'm sure of it, or in someones Progress Thread anyway.

    ^ thats true. you do

    basically the MK1 chasis has an extra bit to allow the slam pannel to fit, but the MK2's dont have that. so you need to chop it off.

    its impossible to find parts, i was goig to do it but after geting parts in the post all damaged i gave up.

    its worth doing though mate, so if your determined do it!
