kale Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) i want to front end convert my corolla from this standard front to the seca model ive had a look it look's like it would work body lines and sutch all line up it would mean from what i can see new guards, bonnet, lights and indicator and grill but would it look alright? :hmm: Edited March 1, 2012 by kale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 would it look alright? Just go back and take two photos from exactly the same position and photochop it. Those are close, but the angle is slightly different. Stand around a small area and shoot 50 photos of one car, then go and take one of the other. Somewhere you will find a match.

67Rolla-Ken Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I was trying to do this with an AE82 front on an RA60 the other day... didn't look as good as I'd hoped :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Oh- don't forget to get them the same colour! :laff: The fit is pretty good really. I'm afraid a cat bumped my hand when I was cutting the front guard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ae824ate Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I fitted the same bumper to my gze ae82, sold it shortly afterwards. The bar only cost me $60 brand spanking, and had to make custom mounts to fit it to the ae82, but the ae9x series might line up. I think i have pics somewhere, and others have done it too. I imagine the grilles etc should be pretty compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYSTIK[RL] Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 well sometime soon I'm respraying it so when i take it back to metal ill do it then (shave it out) actually physically remove or just fill with body filler?
