Quite a simple question. Are mk1 and 2 zt front ends interchangeable? Headlight mountings look very similar as does the bonnet.

Thinking of going this way as I think I prefer pre facelifts.

I do believe that they are a straight swop,Bearing in mind you will need to change the lights etc.

Headlights was the main reason I like the twin lights. Marvelous. Part gathering time.

Thanks guys.

Lights, bumpers, and I believe arch liners?

On a Rover you'd need to think about bonnet release (claw vs latch) also.

I have changed from a mk2 to a mk1.

The wheel arch liners are the same on both versions.

No need to fit a Mk1 bonnet release claw, the Mk2 works fine.

The front bumper is a straight swap, not withstanding having to change the foglamps and the headlamps.

The rear bumper is a straight swap.

The only hard work is on the tourer tailgate where you have to change the filler piece secured to the lower tailgate.

Try to find bumpers the right colour or you will be looking at £400 / £500 to get them sprayed.

This would be a bit difficult for me, as difficult as it is finding me a facelift rear bumper in Firefrost, it may be somewhat trickier finding a mk1 front and back in CEV.
