Hi all, im about to attempt a flat nose swap from a slanty Ae71 nose.
All panels and such are fine im sure, however the light mounts look like ill have some problems... it seems that where the flat nose lights mount normally, there is just empty space (ie no where to drill etc)
Here is what the two look like, the blue car is flat nosed and the red (mine) is the slanty one
You can see from the pics that the bits obviously will be hard to match up

Who has done this conversion before?
What did you do to put the lights in, i realise alot of people who have done this have just gone straight to circle lights so not sure how many have done this bit before.
Basically my only thought is to get a ke model radiator support panel and weld that in...
Any info is helpful thanks
