Hi guys, just inquiring about what parts it takes to convert a slant nose ae71 into a flat nose. Do the fenders need to be changed etc.

 

Cheers!

Hey Mate

 

Have you searched around for your answer?

The Search function and Google is king of knowledge, But to answer you question everything has to be changed from the windscreen foward

 

The list:

 

Louver Panel ( Windscreen Wiper Panel ) Some say there's only 1 kind but they different :bash:

Bonnet

Fenders ( With Indicators )

Stone-tray ( Beaver Panel )

Grill

Lights

Bumper ( old 1 wont line up with the curvature of the fenders )

 

Edit: We refer to the different types as "Flat Front" and "Slant Front"

That's about it. I still call shenanigans on the louver panel tho, my slanty one worked fine with the front conversion i did.

Cheers guys.

OH SHIT! that's waht i thought dude then i painted the car today, tested it out after reading this thread and took a chip out of the new coat on the louver because of bonnet interference, be it my bonnet wasnt tightened fully and it slid back, that's the position it needs to be in anyway to be nice and flush up front.

slanty louver has same shape etc, but that centre section that's raised sits higher on the slanty louvre :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:

ps i can't seem to get my rhs light to sit properly, as if the rad support panel needs to be bent back a bit to give it more space. also sitting them in only leaves you with 1 or maybe 2 bolts to hold them in, did you guys make some brackets for it?

Hahaha told you :laff:

 

How big is your hammer, the rad support just needs a little loving :happy:

bin told u need to change the whole rad support but i didnt do and and my slanty louver panel worked fine no touchy

i was about to go on a rampage when i took that chip out of the louvre last night, how could i forget i didnt tighten the bolts yet :bash: owell will have to do until next sunny day or maybe even summer...

yeah i just made brackets for the lights. Fit in perfect. No touchy on the lourve either, she's all sweet so yeah, i still call shenanigans.

can you please send some photos of those brackets mate? thanks bud :wink:
