I have to replace the bumper, as we cracked it while doing some minor maintanance after the car sold :( the guy still took the car - but I have told him I will replace the bumper. He liked the look of the facelift one, so I was thinking of buying that instead of the regular one.

Didn't realise you had to get different lights... the shape looks similar. Bummer. Still - will look into it, I feel so bad about breaking the car after the guy decided to buy it!

don't NEED new headlights, would need to modify the bumper to fit around the lights tho.

I have facelift bumper on my pre-facelift car. Although it is fiberglass, it just needed to be modded around the inner edge of the bumper where it meets the headlight I think.

The kit is also made for trueno and mines a levin, so you can make anything fit. Easiest option will always be factory fitted item, but with work facelift option fits.
