Default Xr6 front and headlights?

G'day, bit new at this so i dont know if ive posted in the right place or not so sorry if i havent.
So i finally managed to hunt down a good AU Fairmont v8 wagon and i wanted to fit the xr front to it. I just need to know, do i only need to find the bumper and the headlights (and remove the fairmont grille?)? or do i need to get a new bonnet aswell?

thanks

Howdy,

You're probably better off shooting your AU-related questions to the AU Pro's in the AU Forum.

I believe you will need the bonnet as well. The bumper and lights should still work with the Fairmont bonnet, but it won't match up properly and the XR bonnet will be needed to finish the job.

Site sponsor FTG Autosalvage might be able to hook you up with the parts you require for the conversion.

I did mine a little while ago.

Just finished fitting aftermarket headlights to it as well.
