I'm thinking of losing the series one bonnet and grill on my wagon and replacing it with a series 2 version. Is it a simple case of bolting on a new bonnet and grille or is it more involved than that??? Anyone done it?

Liek you said its just a case of bolting the bonnet and grill up. May take a while to get the gaps right but very doable.

Saw an XLS ute the other day with the Series 2 bonnet and grille.
Looked different (as the utes were only available with Series 1 bonnets and grilles.) But if anyone in Sydney has a Winter White Series 1 bonnet they don't need (in good nick) .... i am after one.

I just finished grafting a bulge on my series 2 bonnet, so i have a normal s2 for sale. but you have to come get it from perth!
 : Also have the chrome fairmont strip which will be available by the end of next week. And yes, the s2's look alot better. but awc bulges with bulges / shakers look even better! |

I'm looking for a series 2 bonnet, pitty your in perth. I want to do the same thing change from S1 to S2. so if anyone doing an XR conversion in Adelaide let me know. we can change bonnets and locks. I might be generous enough to give you a hand.
