Front end should be the same so yes, I don't see why you can't use that as a donor vehicle :smiley:

Can you clarify from this post? I'm confused.

Do you have a diesel or a petrol?
How much damage is done to the front end?
Is it cosmetic or has the engine suffered?

Assuming the engine is sound then just go to a local scrappers and pick up a front end in terms of bumpers and wings.

The cosmetic side of things they are practically identical throughout the range so you shouldn't have a problem picking bits up. It's just the fitting and spraying that will cost.

I would say you will need a new front bumper mount, rad, fans as well.
