D3 to D4 Upgrade
Finally got around to upgrading the front end of my 2008 HSE to a D4 2010. Takes quite a while to source all the parts required!
Upgrade involved:
- Replaced front wings (one from Duckworths & one from ebay)
- Side vents from Hawke
- D4 2010 Bumper and grill sourced locally in Ireland
- Halogen Headlights sourced from fellow forum member Ent (saving up for the Xenon version!)
- Reused PDC's from D3
- Upgraded wheels to 19'' D4 style
Next to the rear although it will be some time before I can afford that :- )
Thanks to Robbo for the inspiration !
From this:
To this:
Very happy with the end result

~£1.18/ltr. Nice for some but would hate to pay their road tax.

€1.50 = £1.15 approx
Overall cost of parts excluding new wheels was approx £900, respraying was done by a mate so had no cost with that apart from materials which was < £100. I had the wheels arches and bumper re sprayed also as previous owner had done a nasty job on them originally!
