Hey everybody.
My 2012 L 3-door has damage to the bumper cover and both front fenders from various parking lot hit-and-runs over the years and could also use new headlights (they are getting yellowed and pitted).
I was curious if the mounting hardware and everything under the skin was the same on the restyled models. Like if I found a wrecked one that was the right color to cannibalize, would the fenders, headlights, grille, etc. mount to mine with no issues? From looking at pictures, it looks like the hood and fenders are the same but not sure if there are minor differences.
Not sure I'm seriously considering it, but it would be kind of fun to make a Frankenstein with the new front end on the old car, adding the projector headlights, etc. if I could find the parts for cheap.
