Welcome, if you have a read through or do a search ALL the info you need is here, dont be so lazy

[paul2012]

Yes welcome.

If you read this thread you will see that it has been done to my 2003 connect.

I my connect I had to change the front slam panel from plastic to a steel one. BUT you don't need to do that, as yours panel is a steel one.

The parts you require is front bumber, front grille, front wheel arch plastic trims, stone deflector for bottom of bumper & also new bonnet lock key barrel, as your original will be too short.

Then its just a matter of unbolting / unclipping your old parts & refitted the new parts.

Try asking the whole connect side of the forum.

So let me get this right. You've sold your van after spending all that money on it, will obviously make a heavy loss and you're buying another?
I hope you're not the Director of a company you'd be bankrupt in a week.

No I actually made a profit (helps when you sell the old parts on, for example bumper, lights etc)

The next one will be done differently

Anyone seen a Transit connect pickup ?
