New coupe grille/hood/headlights fit old coupes?

I like the bigger look of the grill on the new coupes, that I suppose are going to go on sale at some point...

I wonder how much jerryrigging will be necessary to get the new bigger star grill on an old coupe? Wonder if I'd have to get a new hood and headlights etc., to do it?

Has anyone else thought about this? Personally I think the small star grill makes the car look toyish.

Also, I wonder if the new coupe hatch could be put on our old coupes?

I'm going to assume that he means the '05 parts fitting on older W203 coupes (being that the '05 is the newest we can get in the US) and those questions would have been answered if he would have searched the forum.

Actually, no, I meant the new w204 coupes coming out in the near future.

The w204 sport coupe grill and hood and headlights are altered on the same w203 body structure, or so it seems, so it appears that there may be some interesting mods in the future. But I could be wrong. (Girl btw)

Yes, but the fact that the parts actually exist is what is exciting.

i agree... maybe it might be worth looking into to make it look like the euro w204 coupes... more of a head turner since they wont be released here.

hmm... maybe i'll sell my bixenons and hood to that guy who dented his and do a w204 conversion? hmmm...

As far as we can see we would need to replace hood, fender, headlights, and the front side pannels.

Maybe steve can do a pack :-)

Best Regards.
