Nikster Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hi, I'm looking at a few 04 plate car I quite like however I like the interior of the newer 06 onward cars (dash, centre part and possibly the sat nav) is it possible to swap the newer interior into the older models or is there more to it? Main reasons for a wanting a 04 is insurance and tax aswell as cost of the car it self Thanks Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Yep, possible. Shouldn't be too difficult either, not sure on price though. Zmanalex or Jon@Emperor can probably quote you on all the bits you'll need. Edited March 1, 2017 by Strudul 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techinstaller Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 quite a few of us have done the full swap of door cards and console ,some small amount of wiring mods needed and more parts than you think will need swapping ,i wouldnt expect much change from a monkey (£500)or may be more in top condition for the lot with door cards tbh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Next job on my list I started with the outside first. I'm not to bothered about the centre console I'm just going for door cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 All in stock including door cards. Just drop me a PM if I can help further. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikster Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thanks guys I'll be doing interior and exterior but just thought I'd check before buying a older model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 When you say exterior, would that include headlights? I'd be willing to be that it'd be cheaper (and easier) to just buy a facelift car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure forgot the lights are different I might split the lenses and do a custom job on them, with projectors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMetal Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 is it possible to selectively swap pieces? ie the doorcards are standalone right? What about the lower centre console ie the handbrake area? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
