Title: Facelift Stuff Post by paulscorp on Jul 10th, 2005, 11:04am Hi guys. Before you all start rolling around the floor laughing, I am looking to facelift my scorp, so need 2 headlights and front bumper for now. I know these are like rocking horse doo doos, but just on the off chance someone might hear of some kicking about, give me a pm or something, Thanks |

Title: Re: Facelift Stuff Post by Baz on Jul 10th, 2005, 11:13am Don't forget the grille as well. But to truly facelift your car, you have to rip out the following: Illuminated passenger vanity mirror Radiator fluid level indicator door lights kerb lights restraining straps on boot floor carpet (probably taken out before the facelifting was done) Nice soft leather seats in favour of the harder ones in the later cars For that authentic feel!!

Title: Re: Facelift Stuff Post by craig on Jul 10th, 2005, 12:24pm paul.... have done mine (pics are on the site),good luck with the bumper,thats where i struggled,but located one in the end through this site........ regarding the lights,it's much easier just to buy the lenses and swap the over (try fordparts.co.uk),lenses are about £40.00 a piece,have a read of THIS HERE (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/headglass.htm) thats mine by the way,facelift bumper has been added now as well though,also regarding the grill,try the same place,trevor is quite good,you will also need the chrome trim for the new grill,and possibly a bracket,the new grill has different holes to the old one,and will not line up,hence the bracket...... if i can help with any other advice,just ask and i will do my best HTH CRAIG |

Title: Re: Facelift Stuff Post by paulscorp on Jul 10th, 2005, 6:16pm Thanks craig, i will definitely get in touch with fordparts, sounds like the way forward and i'm guessing he may have more luck getting the bumper for me too. Should start to look good once i get it all resprayed too. I have a feeling i'll be calling on your expertise throughout the course of my adventures lol so keep em peeled :) I was thinking, i may take lots of before and after photos and posting them if anyone is interested how it goes, although it could take some time yet!!!! |

Title: Re: Facelift Stuff Post by paulscorp on Jul 12th, 2005, 12:30am Hi guys, Firstly, Dazza, parts totalled around 530 squid, thats everything, 2 smoked light lenses (£92) - a grill (183) - and facelift bumper (£176) + p&p obviously. Not going to do it all in one go as my wife would publicly castrate me and hang me out to dry }{ but i will be buying parts from there as they are definitely cheaper. Baz, I think that only the pre-facelift lights will be the only good thing to sell on ebay as grill not much cop and nor front bumper thanks to some idiot in Dartford tunnel pushing me into car in front, but nice idea thanks. Can't wait to get started!! |
