Is it possible?

I wrote off my beloved corolla 2 weeks ago :( so now im in the market for a new car.

My budget cant really stretch to that of a facelift stivo so I'm looking at getting an older one, so I'm just wondering if it would be possible to get a facelift front onto a prefacelift? Is it relatively straight forward or would it be heaps of trouble?

Cheers guys

i hate to admit it, but i do get facelift envy when i see one on the way to/from work... but yea, cant help but like both.

mostly blacked out headlights look much hotter on a facelift...

I believe screamnvvtl-i did it, have a look in his profile or pm him

yes and i belive he tried to sell me his old grill to lol!

facelift conversion is simple you just need the parts previosly mentioned you may get away without changing the radiator support panel if you cant then it gets more complicated but with the cost of buying all the replacement parts itll cost you a bomb anyway

You will need headlights, bonnet, bumper, 2 front guards, maybe a radiator support panel and a bumper reinforcement

The 06+ sedans and wagons have prefacelift lights with facelift fog lights and take the same spoiler as facelift, which would be easier and cheaper. Assuming you want to keep the preface lift headlights, grill (get a TRD grill maybe?) and bonnet. (which i think look heaps better than facelift when painted).

They use the same headlightslights but the whole front bumper is a different part (the foglight hole is about 2x the size of prefacelift) and you will still need the reinforcement piece too. That's a heaps cheaper option but you still look like a prefacelift at the end of the day I reckon.
