Do you mean the sidelights or the sides of the actual light. You probably could attach your 200's sidelights to the V8 headlights if that's where the issue is. The sidelights will come off the headlights.

I mean the side lights

So far here is the plan.
Replace the hood which should be no problem
Replace the bumper with a V8 bumper. so far all i know i need to do is weld on extensions to the frame rails im not sure if there is anything else
Im goin to keep the 200 fenders
Im goin to try to make the V8 lights fit if not ill find 100 lights but still dont if they will fit for sure.

Please correct me on things i am unsure of

Number68

correct, hood will bolt on.

from what i've read, just weld on the frame rail extensions and the bumper will go right on no prob

the 100 lights will defintely fit for sure if you decide to go that route. I have a set of e-code 100 lights on my 5000

Will the bumper from the V8 fit well on the 200 fenders?

Kneale Brownson

No. Won't match up at all.

But if you're going to extend the frame rails, all you need to add the V8 fenders is to cut the bottom off the 200 fenders and match it up with the V8 ones behind the horizontal trim piece behind the wheelwell.

If you go to http://www.pbase.com/kneale_brownson/image/64644082 and hit the "next" button to view the next few pix, you'll see where the V8 fender differs from the 200. Those differences mostly are for the way the bumper fits. If you put the V8 bumper on, you need the V8 frame pieces, core support, fender bracing and fenders. Then you can use the V8 lights!! And if you relay the lights, so the power goes through a relay to the lights instead of through the switch, they'll be almost as good as E-lights.

Is the core support easy to swap. does it just bole right in and will everything from the 200 bolt right to it?

yeah, i have a 200q20v too. i seem to remember a 20v avant with a V8 front clip. the V8 front fender flares were noticeably larger than the rear 200q20v flares.

looked a bit odd to me - but that's just my opinion.

see ya,

I also wanted to ask if i have the weld the bottom part of that fender on?
