Easy swap.

Lights / bonnet and grill, early lights have different plugs so try and source lights from a car the same year as yours.  :smiley:

I have just done this and its literally a half hour job.  Just be careful with those grille clips...

Here is mine, the bonnet needs painting green (matt black for a temporary fix right now) and the grille is cack, but thats in the process of being sorted.
