Just a random question....

Anyone know if it's possible to fit all the consmetic bits from a 95/96 XJS model to an earlier XJ-S...

Talking about the coupé specifically

Front & rear bumpers (the colour-coded plastic ones)
Side windows (lose the quarter window in the front, "bigger" window in the rear)
Front wings (for the indicators)
Smoked tail lights

What else?

Has anyone done this?

Are the parts still available?

Just a thought exercise for the moment....

Talking about the coupé specifically

Front & rear bumpers (the colour-coded plastic ones) on pre facelifts I do not know, post facelifts yes
Side windows (lose the quarter window in the front, "bigger" window in the rear) If the earlier is a pre facelift, no, the facelift door aperture is different.
Front wings (for the indicators) pre facelifts do not know but suspect no
Smoked tail lights pre facelifts No the bodywork and boot lid are different

I think that the rear bumper wouldn't be a problem, but the front is not so easy. It would be better to get a TWR style kit online.
