jluc_93 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer[RL] Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) 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" Edited May 27, 2011 by Spencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainWarriorDregs Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 That's about it. I still call shenanigans on the louver panel tho, my slanty one worked fine with the front conversion i did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt. crunch Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 That's about it. I still call shenanigans on the louver panel tho, my slanty one worked fine with the front conversion i did. 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt. crunch Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 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?
