If you don't own the car yet, buy the one you want. It'll make an older car more difficult to sell when people ask why it needed a whole new front end. | |

Pre-Facelifts are for people who love men. | |

I used to prefer pre-face Vectra C's. Now i can't stand them. Look sooo dated. | |

Another thing to note - the pre facelift uses gas struts to open the bonnet and the facelift uses a good old trust bonnet stay. Wiring for headlights is different, entire layout of parts located near the headlights is different too. Seriously not worth the hassle. For the money you would have to spend converting it you may as well have just bought a facelifted model | |

Well the difference would be if i got a pre it would be a petrol, if i had to save a bit more, i would save for a diesel.. just because.. | |

Agree with John tbh, for what it will cost for parts/painting just put that money towards a facelift. I've been looking at these recently too, but I prefer the pre facelift with the smoked lights as you have pictured. | |

Looking at the front ends, i very much doubt that pre-face slam panel will be the same. | |

There can't be that much difference in price. | |

Bonnet, wings, bumper, headlights, crash bar, slam panel. Pretty sure thats all you will need to change. | |
