OK, so if you have a 2.0L 8v and put a VR6 in it.....Why not buy a VR6
If you have a MK2 and put a Polo interior in it... why not buy a polo
if you have standard steel wheels... why buy nice new shiny alloys

Just think how poor the light output will be, mk3 standard headlights have a large surface area.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I'm not sure but you made a valid point and some actual input that is useful (for once  :lipsrsealed: :grin:).


Let's be honest, if someone is going to go through all the trouble to get a conversion like this done, I don't think they will mind making sure the lighting situation is sorted at the same time :)

Personally think this is worse than a vento front... Makes a huge boring grille.
