Well I had sold my car to my mum and when it decided to throw a wobbly and chew the alternator belt mum called the aa who the called somebody else to recover her back home.
So chap is unloading said stilo and manages to rip the front bumper off some more, So off it gets taken to have a new bumper, Whilst there they phone mum and said do you want us to fit a wing as well and as the wing was knackered yes she said.

Well this is the result,

Looks ok from here,
and from here
Its not really until you look that you realise this,

Now had it been me i would have sent it back and said try again but mum was happy enough and so am I to a point but now im in a bit of a quandry.

Do i replace the other wing and both headlights with 3 door to bring it all into line or what.

So what would you do.

GizmOwin, i know you toyed with the idea of a 3 door front, i think this might prove it can be done on a multiwagon and i must admit it does look nice.
Your thoughts.

Well its too late now, 3 weeks or more. And besides I need the car now.

But seriously I thought it was worth posting as the 3 door front end clearly will fit if anybody is interested and that was more the point I was trying to make even if not too clearly.
And I think I will keep my eye out for a 3 door drivers side wing and a couple of headlights as well and perhaps make a bit of a project out of it now I'm going to keep it for the foreseeable future.
As for the paint match yes it is terrible and as I don't know who did it I cant name and shame but who knows I might be able to have it resprayed in the future.
 
This is very exciting! It fits perfectly! :) As you say.. Just the headlights need changing. I felt for sure that the 3 door wing wouldn't go as far down. Makes you wonder why Fiat bothered changing the five door front? would have been much cheaper to make one set of wings/headlights/bonnet etc, and made the 5dr/estate much more attractive.

Thanks for this! I need a new wing, so I will be getting 3dr ones and maybe invest in a set of those 3dr headlights with the daytime running lights in! :)

Everyone with a 5dr needs to do this now.

Yes I thought you might be excited about this, I love the look of mine to be honest and will be getting a drivers side wing and a couple of headlights my self now.
What are these headlights you mentioned???
I hope and assume that the front panel is the same and I think you might even get away with the 5 door bonnet looking at mine.
 
Yeah! My bonnet overhangs a little anyway, although I could do with a new bonnet too, so I may look at getting a 3dr one, I'll have to do some investigations to see if it'll fit first.

The headlights are these:

FK-Automotive LHD Only Daylight headlight fit for Fiat Stilo 3-Dr. (Typ 192) Yr. 01-07 black: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike

Mzhussein had them on his before he sold it. They are designed for LHD cars though, so they need a bit of fettling to make road legal, I think I'd just bang them off when it comes to MOT time though. I just need to know if they're exchangeable with car with OEM Xenons.

Do you have Xenons? I noticed the headlight washers on your bumper.

Owen.
 
No headlight washers, That's just blanking plates.

Awwwww shame about those headlights as I have normal ones.
 
the paint looks like it has been done by Stevie Wonder with a bicycle pump. The lights are the one MZHussein had but weren't they lhd only. Have a look on the DTS web catalogue.
 
Well to be quite honest i aint worried about the paint having got a car that's turning pink.
Anyway have decided to get a 3 door wing and headlights and then maybe have the whole front end sprayed and blended in then.
 
Do you have Xenons? No that's what i meant to say by saying normal head lights.
 
t-cut? :p

as for the lights, he got LHD ones and converted them himself... no point jus thaving them to swap at MOT time. you will spend a good 12 month blinding every single driver lolo
