Hi there new to this forum about the most beautiful and affordable car ever. I have wanted one of these for years!

Does anyone know if it is easy to put new front panels and lights on an older model? I see a lot of light crash damaged cars and wondered if this would be a good idea to get the new look without the expense.

Thanks for any advice.

Bumper and lights are probably not too bad and similar to most modern cars, if it's just that, as long as it's not impacted the bonnet or wings, and the Bonnet pedestrian impact protection system hasn't been activated.

When I looked for mine there were definitely scuff repairs to many front bumpers

I would think there'll be some who will want to swap front ends with you, if it's possible.

Given how most far prefer the original front I think you could be totally correct 😉
