E46 Pre-facelift hood on facelifted E46

I hit a deer today and was offered a hood from a pre-facelift E46….I have read there will be a gap….I am not too concerned with this but will it close and will the grills from the pre-facelift go in? Any advice or suggestions would be great!

From what I know, the grills are more square on the prefacelift. They are NOT the same. I wouldn’t try it. Just find a hood somewhere else

If it’s free you might as well try it

Ya pretty much. I am about to lay it up for the cold Canadian winter but was just kind of a jerk move by the deer. I just put a bunch of money into it . But I love the old girl

It fits but won’t look good. Would work fine as a temporary solution

You’d have to change the wings

Hood will probably fit, but the kidney grills wont, because they’re more square on the pre facelift models
