Looks very smart. I always did wonder whether the bonnet was the same on both types.

So, which is different; is it the D4 headlamps are not as tall, or that the grille is deeper???


Bonnet is the same, headlights are less tall, then grill a bit wider

Wings are shorter leaving the headlights to come further towards the back od the car. l=Oo\________/oO=l l:Ool======loO:l

Excellent stuff.
Is there a rough costing anywhere for the parts?

You're probably thinking of Matt, he had to lengthen the wings to fit them with the D3 lights
If you're changing the whole lot like Pete has the D4 lights come further back to fit the D4 wings

Nice job Pete Thumbs Up The End
