Changing 2006 QP to 2010 QP facelift

[AD Royalty]

Hi all

I'm wondering how I could change my 2006 QP to 2010 QP facelift

And how much it might cost

Thanks

Now there's a question!

I am not that clued up on the QP but I would have thought it's going to cost too much to do if you buy the parts new. It would be better if you get a list of parts that you need and buy them use.

If you list what you need, we will help you source them. Eurospares is probably a good place to start.

Its not that much different..Front bumper grill...rear bumper and lights from the looks of it............There was a white QP for sale that had been upgraded to 2010 model so it can be done.....

So the headlight are the same then? That should not be too bad then.

Not sure Matt.....May have to change them as well.......Personaly I prefer the fronty on the older car unless you go GTS....

I was just about to say £40k until I realised you wanted surgery on the old car, not buy a new one.

Personally I think that the QP looks better as a pre-facelift car as the lines are more natural and less forced.

Inclined to agree BB.......why change the original though?

As above I agree.....A more natural shape...The grill on the latest one just looks wrong....GTS excluded....

Makes me sound like Kevin McCloud talking about a gable end.

Hardly worth it; you'll need externally;

New light clusters front and rear (facelift has LEDs) , £3.500
new grill , new front bumper, rear bumper? £3.000
new door mirrors.(03-07 share door mirrors with 612), £2500

plus spray/fit to your car. Extra wiring for LED's?

You could sell the bits you take off for spares.

Don't think its worth it as I think your model is better looking than the facelifts, only the 4.7 GTS looks better.

That much!!
Dont do it.......

Cheaper to buy a newer version........plus resale on a make over car would be poor.

2.5k for wing mirrors....Sorry but thats a rip off..........In fact all the prices are a rip off.......Thats a case of you buy a 90k car and you can afford to pay 90k parts prices...Shocking...
