Default Will bits from a hatchback fit a sapphire?

Hello, Its me again not knowing anything...

Will the front and rear bumper from a sierra hatchback (1.6l, F plate) fit a sapphire cosworth and look the same?

Also i need the window seals (rubber bit round the window) will they fit too? I need the front lights as well as mine have a small hole in them and everything does look like what i need but dont want to get it if they dont fit.

I am asking this as i might be able to get hold of a standard hatchback for breaking.

If none of these fit do i need them from a cosworth to look the same or can i find a standard sapphire for these bits.

Many Thanks Eigdoog

No front bumper is completly diffrent on both and is unique to the Cosworth as are the front grill and lights (although lesser models can be adapted by cutting the tab off) unless you mean fogs?

The rear bumper is the same as any other Sapphire but the black inset is unique to the Cosworth and isn't avaliable anymore, I seem to remember hatch and Saphs are different though.

The windows rubbers will be the same.

Front lights are different but you can adapt them by cutting the plastic lugs off that the hatchback lights have. I did this on my old xr4x4 when I fitted a cossie grill and bonnet. Don't remember it being that hard to do.

Fog lights are the same but they sit in a plastic surround which covers the edges on the cossie.

Yes thats what I said above, the headlights are different in that the tab location is different that the grill bolts to, you can cut it though.

I used "cut down" non cossie lights and found adding a 10mm nut under the grille retaining tabs before screwing to the headlight flange was needed to get them lined up better.
The trim can still be bought new from East Kent trim supplies, around £15 delivered from memory.
