Backdating facelift 986

[Mark_T]

Pothole - can't tell you about the rear bumper/spoiler. I've looked at that myself because I am going the opposite way - applying the facelift components to a '99. The front bumper cover, headlights, tail lights, side markers, and side intake grills are all a straight swap-over though.

Too bad you're in the UK - I would swap you the trunk/spoiler parts needed as that's the only part of the facelift I haven't done yet. You should have little difficulty finding someone close by willing to swap parts as most owners want to go for the newer look and finding a guy with an '03 or '04 wanting to do a total parts swap is like hitting gold. I wish I could have found someone like you when I first started this process.

Are you looking to also go back to the 4-spoke steering wheel and buttplug shifter as well?
I have a 4-spoke steering wheel and airbag I would like to sell off if you do.

One of the plusses to doing it your way is that you will get a glove box which the older cars don't have.

Interesting on the idea of backdating. I too prefer the look of the earlier car. It will be interesting to see over the years if this becomes a trend kind of like people back dating the short nose Carrera to the long nose.
