Sti/WRX front on vm levorg

[charlie_ching]

How many people have installed a sti/WRX front bumper, front guards and side skirts on their levorg? Just wondering what's involved, will the sti skirts bolt on? Or are the rear ends different and need splicing with the levorg skirts.

First stage, managed to source myself a 2019 levorg sti sport front bumper. Will polish this up and install once I get a set of headlights with indicators. Then once I've sourced the guards and skirts I'll get it all painted.

Did a test fit, even the sti lip from my old bumper nearly works, would just need to be modified slightly to look perfect

wow that looks awesome where did you get the STI front from ?

 

[charlie_ching]

Got it from a wreckers in south Brisbane. Not cheap though ha. But I got it complete, so all grills, lamps etc.

Can i ask how much

ive been searching here in NZ but they seem pretty rare and importing the shipping is crazy

Car looks so good congrats

 

[charlie_ching]

A little over $1000. I probably could've looked around a bit more, but I hadn't seen any others, and I'm impatient ha. You're in NZ right?

 

[lerroy]

Thats not as exy as I thought

Yeah I'm in NZ south island

Picked up my aftermarket headlights today. So will install them and the bumper one the weekend. Will post how it looks.
Then just need to track down the WRX/sti guards and skirts

So I've installed the aftermarket headlights and the newer sti sport front bumper. The lights were all plug and play which was good, thought I'd have to splice for the indicators. Only thing that was a problem, I needed to reshape the air box a little as the driver's side head light was clashing with it a little bit. Very happy with it, next I'll pick up a lip for the bumper, WRX/sti guards and skirts and paint them up

Looks tough as.

did you need to change the front guards for it to fit or was it a straight swap
