    its gay to do improplerly.

    if youre a tight arse like i was when i did it just cut some squares out of the rad then bolt some plates across the holes. its not that hard but it is done incorrectly.

    Bit of a thread revival, but other than drilling new holes for the light brackets to bolt in, what else needs to be done to the rad support to make this work. I actually have the flat front rad support, but cant weld, and guess it'l cost moneys to get it done, so if its easy enough to do then i'l leave the existing radiator support in there and modify it. Any pictures would also be sweet, where new holes have been drilled etc. Also, could easily check, but im being lazy, but is the loom and light plugs the same on the ae71 and ke70, or does that need changing too?
    Cheers

    bonnet hindges or you have to space the flat front bonnet up on the hindges, bonet latch is the same bumper same holes, basicly jsut need 4 new holes for the headlights as one fits an existing hole one is in mid air, so 2 new each side.

    dont bother changing the rad support, unless its bent

    Sweet, i'd never heard about spacing the bonnet out, i'l have to remember to grab some washers before pulling it apart. Thanks for the info!
