A front end swap thats not on a Japanese car

[stealthstylz]

We had a thread a while ago about front end swaps and iirc all of them were japanese cars. Just stumbled across this though



Never seen it done before. I assume it has Tigra front wings welded on.

Hmm interesting, according to the boys on AllCorsa you just fit a tigra slam panel then everything should just swap over. There basicaly the same chassis after all.
Handy to know, I never did like the front end of corsa b's, but there cheep to insure, run, improve, etc. Ill be after one to rack up no claims when I pass my test.

Yes I know its not that 'retro' but having a little snot box appeals to me, carefree motoring FTW.

**EDIT**
Ive done a bit more research, and it turns out you do need to cut n shut the wings, I'm a bit disheartened now, I did find this tho,

There was the Monstro on here a while ago, Maestro with a Montego front end on it

That looks ace! Wonder how hard it is. The pointy calibra front really suits the length of the cavalier body. I like the fact they've also cut and shut the calibra and cav gsi front bumper. Shame about the mirrors and mesh but you can't have it all.

Loving that corsa tigra thing, tirosa?? Cogra??
Works so well.

Those opel ones are pretty cool, not seen them before

Have a few VW ones
Bolf?

Gora?

Volf?

bora with a golf front end works well!

the golf/vento amalgamation is a little overdone now and am not feeling the bora front on a golf

Carlton estate, Senny front...

[BenzBoy]

I saw that Senator Estate at a show last year. Or one very similar to it!

There's a Opel Combo with Tigra front end on cleaned.be but I can't find it.

More on that Corgra:







First two are Tigra arches, third one is a Corsa/Tigra cut and shut.

[WillCarter]

Can't believe how good that Tigra front end looks. So subtle yet eyecatching at the same time, really like that.

[autoverse]

Tigra/Corsa mash up is neat works rather well, wonder how it would look on a five door......

[Mattyvole]

SLR front on a SL. Not the best, but it's got a certain charm to it.



Suzuki Carry to a Citroen H Van anyone?


And how have we got this many replies without one of the largest manufacturer-backed front end swaps in history?

[skinnylew]

not sure that counts though as it was a production model, all the others are one offs or custom jobbies.....now this mini allegro on the other hand......

[EmDee]

don't forget the caddy/ibiza one

[Hirst]

That Tigra/Corsa looks alright! Wonder if anyone's done a Puma/Fiesta combo?

[skinnylew]

yes it has been done.....can't find it though!!!

[retrolegends]

Sunbeam and Avenger fronts are interchangable, that Maestrontego or what ever its called is just plain WRONG,lovin the seat front caddys though.
