2008 sv6 bumper conversion to 2013?

second one, sorry the photos didn’t attach when I did it

That'll be expensive...
You'll need bumper, front guards, grille, headlights and bonnet.
Bonnet has different hinge points, so that will need modifying as well...

Plus $4-5k in paint, unless the panel colours all match.

Sorry mate on a boat with bad reception and it keeps doing double sends and screwing the message around, but I am talking about if the blue cars bumper is compatible, sorry for the meas

Lucky you for being on a boat, I wish I could be there instead of being stuck in cold Melbourne weather

Anyways, as others have said, you can put the VF bumper on the VE but it requires an entire new end, so it's very expensive and probably not worth it...

Ahh well it was worth checking, I was hoping it would just be new headlights and everything else would be the same, thanks for the help

The VF also has different fenders and a different bonnet, so it would've been a huge job... Converting VE Series 1 to Series 2 isn't as big of a job... You'll only need a new bumper and headlights but IMO, Series 1 looks more aggressive and keeping the original parts on your car increases value...

Yeah it does hold value but I’m not too concerned about my resale value, but it’s the first photo you had, so the red one, is that the series 2 bumper because to me it looks a little more aggressive

That's a lower spec. S2. Upper spec. models have chrome trim rings around the upper and lower grilles and foglights.

Ahh yeah, I think I’ve seen some of the ones with the chrome around. So would that bumper be one I just had to replace headlights for? Because that’s also on my list

Yep, that's a VEII SV6

You can convert to VF front. One of the expensive bits to do is to have the bonnet hinges removed and new VF bonnet hinges welded in.
Once that is done, new wiper cowl, bonnet, guards, lights, bumper support, clips, screws, under car diffusers or panels. You’ll need the wheel house/well plastic panels as well.
It will be a few thousand, then once paint comes along. Ouch.
