Would a stage one grille and headlight surrounds be a direct fit?

Would a stage one grille and series 3 headlight surrounds be a direct fit?

Essentially, yes. There will be some holes to fill from where the 110 grill mounts but the biggest problem is that proper Stage 1 grills are like hens teeth. There are also some small brackets for securing the bottom edge required, from memory. It was about 18 years ago that I made the change although ironically, on a genuine Stage1 that the previous owner had fitted a 110 grill to Rolling Eyes Darren

thanks for that.
The stage one grill that I found was re-manufactured but that shouldn't make a difference I hope.

You'll need to swap door strikers and potentially drill some holes in the pillars if going to push-button doors. All the internals and the door cards etc. will also be different so make sure your new doors come with those bits. The lift-up handle one-piece ones like yours fetch decent money, even knackered, so don't scrap them.


Looks like I'll stick with the lift up handles Thumbs Up

The middle row doors are too far gone so it looks like I will have to replace them and since replacing them with push button doors would require alot more work I've found these

My main concern is security, would it be reduced with these windows?

I decided to go with an svx front end with 95mm LED's in the back

Does anyone here have any experience with the powerfulUK svx style front light kit?

Long overdue update.
The middle donors that were described as top far gone have since been repaired by a professional welder. It now has a front svx kit.

I have also bought a 4.6 rv8 so now need to find an insurer that doesnt mind having a 20 year with a big V8

Pictures are on the way

brentacre insurance should help you, as they insured my VVC metro i had, which was lot faster, Thumbs Up They also insured my defender, so they may see it as not been all that quick, I don't know how fast these are due to the weight. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back
