   Ok someone's hit my car and driven off, the bumper lights and wing are buggered, quite fancy doing a MK1 conversion, as I prefer that shape myself.
   
   All I want to know is what is everything I need?
   
   Currently I know It'll take
   
   Slam Panel
   Wings
   headlights
   bonnet
   bumper
   
   anything else I would need to do this? any help appreciated.

   aslong as you can get the slam panel on ok everthing should just bolt on
   ive heard there might be some chopping/welding in order to fit the slam panel?

   The mark 1's have an extra bit of metal spot welded to each wing in order to fit the slam panel.
   
   THis is the bit,
   
   
   The mark 1 slam panel bolts onto that bit where as the mark 2 one bolts in further up.
