AFAIK:
bonnet mounts on original mounts.
fenders are custom made to fit in s14 mounting holes.
lights come with bracketry that fits
bumper fits in stock s14 mounts, probably with some few mods required though to make it align 100%.

local - jerry at import parts.
it might cost the same or more than your s14 did though. i've heard its not worth the money!

From what I read, its quite expensive.
Maybe a S14A with halo headlights would look lekker with less damage to the pocket. Just my 2c

The S14a needs all the panels asswell
Bonnet,Fenders,bumper,lights.
If you change the front go S15,It will cost you the same,
The cost for all the panels and lights if you go OEM parts will cost you +- R25K ex spray and fit
I had a FULL S15 front with S14 sides and back from Jerry a while back from Wings west and the cost was about R45K (R10-$) :shock:ex fitting
It will be cheaper now as the exchange rate is VERY good atm

I calculated about R20k but then counting was not my best subject.

Isn't it called a cherry face lift?
That's what I heard but long ago.
Import the parts from Aus? Might be cheaper
