Default Front grill question for gc8 owners..

hi guys/gals..
easy one for u all i hope..
ive got a 96/97 wrx with the really basic stock front grill on it.. see:

http://carmate.com/product_details.p...SFG&p_id=10787

The one that has no badge and no style etc

very soon ill be putting a recently acquired cwest front bar on and am looking to get a new grill at the same time painted and fitted etc to modernise the old girl..
my question is: will a '00 grill go on a 96/97 rex and *insert noob question here* will the new grill interfere at all with the cwest front..
cheers in advance!
kieran..

i'm pretty sure that you'll have to change your bonnet as well if yuo do decide to change the grille

96 bonnet and lights will not fit with later model grille
bumper will fit either

fantastic link mate, its very helpful.. thanks a mill..

so my assumption is.. the bumper will fit any make gc8 but the later model grills will not go on the 96/97 because of the different bonnet size/shape etc?
