Hi, about to do the double to single grill conversion. Have got new bonnet, grill & bumper & all look ok (just about to get sprayed).
I have now noticed that several resellers sell different 3 door & 5 door bumpers, bonnets & grills. Is this a mistake ? I would assume the front end of the cars are identical ?
Does anyone know ?

I always thought it was based on chasis. I know the rear is different but never noticed a different with the sportback and 3-door front.
Do you still have the double grill, bumper and bonnet?

Cheers, yep just had it confirmed by a mechanic mate. Really annoying as so many places say they only sell "5 door" grills & bumpers :(.
Took the new bonnet & bumper in to get sprayed today to do the conversion next week hopefully.
Yep, I've still got the original 2 grill bonnet & bumper in ebony black metallic if interested. Also have the abt single frame conversion as well that I'll be flogging.

Which parts are required to do the swap? Bonnet, bumper, grill, bumper carrier? Are the headlights OK?
