Hi all,

I'm looking for a 4.2 currently. I might be completely crazy (it's quite possible) however I quite like the pre-facelift style with the square headlights and simpler lines. It would also make for a rather stealthy looking 4.2 SC

Has anyone retrofitted the 1st gen front end to the 05< models? If so is it just a case of swapping the grill, headlights and front bumper or do the wings need changing too?

Thanks in advance 2006 L322 Vogue SE 4.2

Can't see why not & you are not alone, I too prefer the earlier simpler look.

I did think of buying a later L322 & doing the same, but not being able to find one that I really liked went over to the dark side & bought a Sport.

As lovely as that is, it's not quite what I'm after and above my budget.

Should sell quickly though and I would have thought to a true enthusiast too given how unique it is. 2006 L322 Vogue SE 4.2

Wiring will need modifying to the early plugs, shouldn't be too bad a job...

Also the early cars had headlight wipers and the later ones didn't, may need some trial and error to get them working or get the bits from an HSE which I don't think had them...

There maybe differences in the front plastic parts that go behind the bumper, the wings are different but I think you should be OK, you may need to rivet in a plate for the indicator...

I also love the original clean lines...

Good luck and lots of pics if you do it please....  Pete

Sounds like some of the ‘back-dating’ shenanigans becoming more common in Porsche 911 circles.

Kinda see the appeal.

I’d love early shark gills on mine, those early ones were the best. 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster - Baltic Blue, Jet interior

Two points to make... Insurance and Legislation... Will your insurance company cover it? & are you allowed to retrofit glass headlamps to an 06>MY? I'm not sure you can?
