new style front end info

[thegreenbox]

new to the site and looking for some info
ive just bought my self my first transit connect a nice metallic green 55 plate lx its already lowered on mondeo st alloys, tinted windows, porsche leather front seats and a few other mods
the reason im posting this thread is im thinking of putting the new front end on from a 60ish plate and a one piece rear door, will the front end just be a direct replacement ive been told maybe 2 front arches then obviously the front bumper and all the grills can anyone shed any light on this
also what work will be involved in fitting a one piece back door, what do i need apart from the door ? any ideas where to start to find the parts.
thanks for any info use guys can send my way

welcome to the furom.

Yes the later front end will fit, do a search on the forum as a couple of members have already done it

Parts you require:-

front Bumper
front fog lights (if fitting front bumber with fog light holes)
Both front grilles (top & bottom)
trim for front bonnet
top grille support/bracket
new bonnet lock key barrel as your original will be too short !
both front plastic arch trims
stone defector for bottom of bumber (2 parts)

Everything just bolts straight on

places to buy parts - EMG FORD, IMPERIAL PARTS, SCRAP/BREAKERS YARDS & EBAY

As for the changing the 2 rear doors to a one piece door. You will incounter problems there as the one piece rear door / tailgate are very rare to find !
