Hey it's cool when someone posts a link of you own car as above cheers guys stoked I thought my build was shite but obviously not lol but back to question ! No it's not hard at all mines xr4x4 but same principle with rs500 I could easily make it look rs with a vented bonnet and open grill but I quite like the standard xr front plus it depends what you are putting in as power you don't want people to think oh he has a cossie lump init if it only has v6 or slower cause it could be embarrassing lol. But it's a simple wing swap although I would suggest changing front panel so lights and bonnet latch fit proper I didn't and it took forever to get the lights mounted well and I pinned the bonnet cause I couldnt be bothered to fit the latch lol ! Good Luck mate

ok you will need to get a pair of mk 1 wings a slam panel and bonnet, head lights, grill and bumper.
you can get this at the moment on ebay for 199.99. second hand complete front end.
if you look at the pic of the blue P100 you can see at the top of the wings were they differ from the mk2.
it is an easy job if you know what and how to do it, or just take you time
