will d8 lights fit the d9?

[plod]

Yup it looks like a half hour job to d9 a D8 rear end,
id say the front end wouid be a doddle to do too,

it be just a case of picking up a cheap Fubard d9 with Good bumpers wings etc the same colour as a d8 and swap bits over,
it wouid be the cheapest way me thinks,

oh dear, don't give me ideas
who's breaking a D9

I imagined it would be slightly different myself, in that, I thought part of the redesign was to increase the volume of the boot space?

even the lock in center is the same. i think the boots are exactly the same in both models.

ive been in a fer few boots in scrap yards d8 and d9 all look identical.

soooo who is gonna be the 1st to change the back end (not me)

Thanks for the wheels gary and thanks for helping swapping them over,
they make the car look 50times better, ithink ican take off my Lx badges now its got some decent rims

no probs mate. good price that for 5 alloys and a set of bolts and lockers

Yup it was a good price for them wheels much apreciated thanks,
iwouid of give you more for them but this house of mine is draining all the money out of my pockets just lately

as you mentioned there is a little judder in that front wheel, but its only noticable around 80 it fades out above 90 so its not to bad there much better than the steel rims tho,

the transplant is possible! both front and rear!

This was a standard D8!

Facelifting the front requires changing the hood, lights, bumper/fogs and the locking mechanism of the hood (the d8 hood has two hooks and the d9 one has one in the middle). Everything - straight swap
Facliftting the back requires just changing the boot lid, bumper and rear lights (all straight swap!)

What, were we all too stunned to comment? That's what almost everyone (including myself ) asks when they first appear on this forum!

And there it is, in the (sort of) flesh, excellent job!

I've done this to my D8 after it met with an accident for the first time. Switched back to D8 stuff after the second accident , only the front though. Had to do a small modification on the fiber pannel behind the bumper

[sirwiggum]

Wow! Excellent work!

An XUD without a COM2000 but with the D9 front (and no rust!) would be the ultimate 406
