'88 260e Newer Hood and Lights change

Hi i have a '88 260e, it has the org. headlights and grill, i want to convert the front end over to the '94-'95 look.

So Will have to buy the hood for a E320 94-95, and grill, also the newer headlights right? (to match the hoods shape?)
What else will have to be done to complete the job?
And finally i am going to buy a boby kit for the car also, by doing these changes will it need a different front dumper kit?

Thank you, Aaron

just on top of my head...

newer style hood + grille + star
newer style rear bumper (the impact strip wraps more of the bumper)
the 1994 / 1995 headlights (get the Euro headlights while you're at it)
The plastic side moldings (with chrome strip on them)
newer style front bumper (the 90+ cars have chrome strips on the front bumper)
The outside door handles have a chrome strip in them too
the mirror cover has to be painted.

That's it I think from the outside...

oops I didn't read that you wanted to do a front end conversion only... :p

but anyway...

Check out the AMG bodykit! I think the front bumper is especially sweet...
