From what I remember, the MX6 has slightly different front end to the 626, the MX6 has front indicator that slope down to a sharp point, whereas the 626 has more squareish indicaters. Having said that, I'm pretty sure you will be able to get the front panels on it.

id just like to point out, that you will need to modifiy the front doors, the mx's guards are flared and the flare continues about 10cm into the door. I have seen it done. I saw a wild one which started with a tx5 and modified the whole lots (with Mx stuff) and made a 2 door hatch. Looked awesome.

yeah sounds good but he was an engineer so he was able to his own fabrication, if you took it somewhere (to be legit) it would cost $$$$$
