ive changed my ideas, and basically im going to convert my gen3 into essentially an siii, and i know ive discussed it before but it went a bit off topic and anyone reading that post now will get the wrong impression if they dont read everything fully.
and before anyone says "why not buy an siii" then considder this: i bought my v6 gen3 for £3800, a v6 siii (and i havent found many/any about for sale) costs about £10k MORE if im not mistaken
.
so IF i bought (and remember its my money and not yours
) both wings, bonnet, bumper, bumper support headlights and foglights... would it fit on (with maybe minor fabrication by a bodyshop due to mounting brackets being in different places)???
main concerns are:
** headlights - are the plugs in the rear of gen 3 lights plug and play with siii lights?
** foglights - as above
**indicators in the wings - will the repeator wires reach from where they are in the gen3 wings to the gills in the siii wings
**bonnet - with siii wings and headlights, will the bonnet mount on, and on the same rams, still function correctly (eg mount in the same place)
...as for the rear ive been told the rear lights and bumper just bolt on? i assume the wiring plugs are the same but the rear wings need to be modified slightly as they do to fit the gen3.5 lights? this then shouldnt be too much of a drama. what concerns me with the rear is the exhaust...
if i got hold of an siii v6 catback would it fit on fine?
then the illusion is complete but for the interior... which is on its way to becoming siii anyway, just need to know if the consol is a direct swap and if so is it plug and play with the climate control unit and switches etc.
any info really appreciated
