Looking to modernize the front end of our 1996 Bongo. I wondered if you can fit the later model grille without modifications? Do you need to change the lights or anything else?
Cheers
can you change grille to later version?

Re: can you change grille to later version?
You cant just change the grill no, The only grill you can change to is another same shape mazdaspeed or modified grill. If you want to change grill to the latest shape you need.
New front headlights
Underlight Panels
Front Grill
Front Bumper.

Thanks.
Mmmm. Food for thought. I was only really considering it if it wasn't too expensive.
I think I'll leave it for now. Need to save up for Christmas !

Re: can you change grille to later version?
I have a mazdaspeed grill in mine basically it's just expanded metal with a Mazda badge on it, however it looks very effective on my 1996 model, it could be done by just trimming a section of expanded metal using your old grill as a template, removing the middle section of you existing grill, attaching the new section of exp metal sheet and simply buying a Mazda bagel from eBay.
If interested pm me with your email address I can send you photos.
