Title: do i do it or not
Post by: seph234 on December 07, 2005, 16:37:53

i went to the woodlands site at the weekend and had a wicked time but i broke my passenger side indicator len's(spelling)  i think you can buy just the len's but i like the look of the 300tdi front end and there is a complete set of lights indicators grill etc on ebay at the mo so do i do it or keep the 200tdi look with big plastic bits around the lights.  joe :D

It would probably be worth parking yours next to a 300 first and having a good compare to see if there would be any extra work involved.

If you just swap the lights and bumper then go for it.... the 300 lights are much better than the 200's.

If you need to start changing any panels etc then I would say leave it.

 :D

They do a upgrade kit to upgrade the 200 to the 300 style kits.  I dont know whats involved but its always advertised in the ads in the mags.

I do like the creativity of these excuses to convince our partners to let us open the piggy bank ;)

"Mrs Damo, Im just going offroading in the woods"
"OK, Have Fun"
"I will, I want a set of clear indicator lenses"
"What was that?"
"Nothing dear"

 :lol:

The 300 bits will all go on a 200 you just have to sort out the new mounts for the bigger headlight and also if my memory serves me right a way of holding the indicator but they aren't major jobs.

You will need to do a bit of cutting in the head light mount unless you can somehow get an adaptor, bought all the stuff for my 200 then decided not to bother, got complete front end in garage including bumper but no valance if anyones interested, will need collecting though as to much to post.

To change to 300 lights you do have to modify the panel where the lights mount, a bit of cutting and grinding will do it, the indicators will need to have a new fixing.

I was going to do mine, I priced replacement panels at the front to make it a proper job, these are £40 each.

All the bits around £300, not worth it in my opinion.
