putting a phrase 2 bumper on a phrase is not easy, like you said headlights and brackets need changing as well

Like said above, there's no way arround it you'll have to update tge front lights and brackets, the rear bumpers fine tho, that can be changed without any other things needing to be changed :-)

thanks for your help.
i've got one phase 2 headlamp and bracket just got to source the other side now.
i think the phase 2 looks a lot sportier at the front then my phase 1

thats the face lift fitted, installed xenon kit while i had the lights out. checked and they give a perfect beam pattern.
only thing i never considered was that the old bonnet safety release that comes out the grille is not long enough and there must be a newer longer part
fitted to the facelift car.
has anyone else found this to be the case
cheers

i also done a mod to the rear bumper to make it look like a GT150.
i made a custom pipe that comes from the standard rear box across the rear panel with twin pipes about 12-14 inches apart in the middle with 3 inch audi a3 chrome tips. i then got a damaged standard rear bumper for my ph1 and cut the lower center section out to make my exhaust trim and sprayed in in high gloss silver and fixed it over the bumper to look like the gt trim that retails for over a 100 quid from renault and only fits ph2.

i don't think renault sell them on there own as everytime we have replaced a customers bumper it comes complete with the grill kit which includes the two small grilles the large lower grille, fog lamp trims and lower tray.
good luck in your search
