Would anyone happen to know if the bull bar for the face lift FL1 will fit the pre-face lift v6 front end? There is one for sale that says it fits all V6 models from 2000 to 2006. I do plan on doing a face lift conversion in the future but just wondered if the bull bar would fit the bumper as it is?
Thanks in advance

I would assume it fits since the facelift front is slightly longer (as i see it) plus they have almost everything else in common

p.s. if you're picking it up yourself you can check that the mounting points on the bull bar are present on the vehicle

That's what I assume especially as the front bumper on the pre-face lift V6 is 50mm longer than the 4 cylinder models.

It's a new in the box kit but it's to far away to make a collection practical.

should do if not it is only a matter of extending the brackets at the bottom

Then I would go for it! I'm bending one myself as I can't find one in Malta which rises as high as the number plate

I didn't think there was a facelift version of the V6 model.
