Help st3 to rs500
Hi
I've just bought a 2007 st3, I've got a genuine Rs bodykit, (front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts) etc. does anyone know if I can fit the bumpers etc straight on? I know the Rs is facelifted so I need to change the bonnet and lights etc but does the slam panel need changing? I know the wings and rear quarters are wider but I can sort that with the glue on arches.
Thanks for any help anyone can give

Ben
Just buy an RS.
Replicas are ultimately, quite queer.

stick on arches will look awful, as said get it sold and buy an RS. By the time you've sourced the rest of the parts, had it all painted etc it'll be one very expensive ST! Not to mention doing something with the wheels as you'll need to widen the track to fill the bigger arches.

don't think richie is being funny but 9 times out of 10 you put so much money into a car your better off not wasting it as ive found out the hardway,but if you plan on keeping the car and know your gonna loose money then go for it,I know when I facelifted the vectra c I had to change the slam pannel as the wing brackets were different and where the headlights bolt to,search google for focus facelift

Right I've got on with this and it's almost done, I've fitted genuine ford parts and it's 3/4 wrapped in 3m Matt black. I'm ordering wheel spacers to put on it as the 19" Rs wheels are sitting in the big arches. I'm gonna order the 40mm spacers but what is the measurement? Is it 5 x 108? I just want to order them correctly
Thanks for any help u can give, it's 2007 st-3
How do I put a pic on here? I'll post one it looks really good
