KE70 grill swapping

Postby NOLAW » Fri Jun 03, 2011 7:42 pm

Hey guys

Does anyone know how hard it would be to swap the grill on the KE70 pictured below to the quad/round headlight style grill?

surely someone on here knows :)

Should fit pretty much straight over, the end clips may be a bit different but the centre ones will be the same

Flat front definitely is, not so sure on the sunken front though

I will have a look next time I am in the garage if I remember,
I have about 1/2 a dozen of each or so.

not 100% sure but..
guards and bonnet interchange. the valence just below the headlight wont. the headlight surrounds step down and interfere with valence. you'll need the twinlight grill to match them unless you shorten and munt it

Was in the garage tonight for the first time in ages,

all the grill's I have are the sunken headlight type as that is what I run.

I must have got rid of all the rest.
