You will have to remove the bumper on the white one but may not have to on the black one due to the washers

Take the euro headlights. If the 4.4 doesn't have them...rear sunshades (if applicable.

If youre wanting the big brakes, i would simply take the front knuckle right off, disconnect the brake caliper, abs /brake pad sensors, tension strut, lower contol arm, tie rod, and the axle, then lower the strut, and use that whole assembly, youll get a bigger wheel bearing, and all the brake stuff would fit! (need 18"+ wheels though)
Good luck!

Good morning Gents,
I tried to swap the rims, everything went fine
But I have noticed that the rear rims are not same look as it was on the 4.8is
The space between the rim and car body side is very narrow
Shall I use spacers or shall I swap the suspension arrangements
Thanks
