What do I need to update a 245 nose to 86-on grille and lights 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be steve macsween on  Thu Aug 2 04:51 CST 2001 [RELATED]

The subject line pretty much says it all. I know they update the fronts of early 200 series all the time in Sweden, but I haven't seen it done here, so far.

I have an '82 that I want to give a more "euro" look but I haven't been able to find a decent set of used euro-spec lights.

So now I switch to plan "B".

I may be able to get a front off a 1990 244, but it's out of town and I haven't been able to see it yet. All the recent-model cars at the local wrecker either have serious front-end damage or have been "clipped" -- so I can't compare what's what in terms of parts between my car and the newer one.

Will I need the fenders, hood, and header panel and/or the front "dress" (the panel behind the headlights)? Or can I mix and match components?

Any info much appreciated.
