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

They are all running custom grills would be my guess plus Vento bonnets, I would also guees the wings have been reshaped.


One question why does anyone want to make a mk3 look like a mk2.

why do people people want to make a mk3 look like a vento? why do people want aftermarket headlights or new wheels or suspension!? i think the answer is to be different and personal taste, i like the look of the clean simple lines, thats what does it for me and the fact that already without even touching my car it has stirred this reaction, this is going to be good.
im off to the scrappies to grab a few bits, ill start a project thread too, cheers for all comments good and bad (the bad ones help me to see where maybe i could change a few bits and pieces)
wish me luck!

good response.

Personaly i prefer the look to this conversion then the vento, although i think this one will be no where near as easy! As said, it looks like theres quite a few custom parts on there...

...but good look, i will be keeping a close eye on your troubles  :smiley:

Forget what everyone else says, it's upto you what you do with your car, and it's better being individual than being a sheep lol good luck and keep us posted :)

all 3 look like photochops to me, but i recon it could look good if you can physically get it all to fit in there.
its good to be different, though sometimes this is debatable  :grin:

anyone else see the corrado with mk2 golf small bumpers?  its 'unique' to say the least
