MA8 to MB6 Front Conversion

[Shawn2ace 4]

I would like to know if it will be possible to fit on the MB6 Hood and front bumper onto my MA8. I've noticed there are significantly more parts for the MB6, and then more there's the front lip that I think I wouldn't be able to put onto my MA8. I'm worries there might be conflict with the lights or other parts of the body. And that MB6 bumper is quite sexy.

Lights are different size/shape also

It is possible, but the MA front end is better looking imo

You think? I was considering getting my hood changed as it's currently 25% quickfill. And I like that wider body front bumper on the mb6.

Check out my inspiration thread on the general chat section, there's a few MA's on there (Domani's)

Ok so it's basically a replacement bonnet, Headlights, and Bumper. I read somewhere that the construct holding up the bumper might need to be changed too?

i think the slam pannel needs doing too!

Yeah, slam panel does need changing too. It has been done on here before, not sure whos it was though.

I can't find any topic regarding conversion from pre-facelift to facelift front. 

Maybe you have a link to such a topic?

Bit dead in the water this topic. However I have seen a MA local to me driven by an old lady that had an MB front end on it. So must have been repaired like that at some point. 

If you can provide a picture of MA slam panel I will be able to confirm how different it is as I am familiar with MB

I don't have a picture of mine, but here you can see it in another topic - https://civic5.com/forum/topic/5740-the-story-of-my-ma8/?do=findComment&comment=299889

Its similar but not the same you might get away with it. 

I'd be tempted to collect the parts and try them. Failing that change the slam panel.
