wouldnt bother mate, leave it as a bugeye.. there would be alot of work and money required to change it to a hawkeye i would have thought... bumper, bonet,wings,lights etc etc

I have,well almost finished my bugeye to hawkeye conversion (ready for paint),it is not that hard but its not cheap,
you are getting the chargespeed kit so wings and bumper are sprted,but you will need
Bonnet £340
Bonnet scoop,fortune new iirc £200,i got s/h for £50
Head lights are like rokin horse ***** s/h,if you want sti xenon hid ones almost £600 each,non hid ones are around £350 each.
you will need the new front panel and headlight panels,so cutting and welding is needed,unless you bodge it with the chargespeed brackets (look crap to me),new genuine slam panel and 2x headlight panels were roughly £140,they are fairly easy to fit,clamp and weld @ 640mm from bulkhead to centre of 1st/slam panel wing bolt.

Think thats pretty much it,any questions just ask matey .
