      New Ideas

      I have a white 2010 Aveo hatchback, and I'm thinking about changing the front to the 1st generation Aveo style. How hard would it be if I bought all the parts ?

      if you bought all the parts, you would need to put them on the paint them. I am pretty sure everything bolts together.

      but i agree with nemasys.. why? if you do though, i would be interested in your front bumper and headlights.

      Of course, all these ideas come in at a time I'm broke. I've always secretly wanted a Daewoo, and I just like the 1st Gen. I was told it looks like a Daewoo Tico, which is the best car South Korea has ever seen! If not, I'll put the 2nd gen sedan front end on my hatchback just for laughs. The Aveo is so awesome, I think there are too many possibile projects. :P

      I'll sell you the lights and bumper either way, if I go through with it.

      Yes! That is the raddest car in Korean history. The Kia Pride comes in a close 2nd.
      The 1st Gen Aveo looks like an updated version to me.

      Hmm, not to thread jack but not off topic. What about putting a Sedan front end on a Hatchback? I want the carbon fiber hood, but they only make them for the sedans. I'm in a '08.

      I will think of a better signature later.

      it seems like it can be done, i havent found any obvious structural changes between the 3 front ends. not that i have torn apart all three.. but i have looked at the body measurement books.
