Title: My New New NEW front end. ( daylight pictures )
Post by: jonnyturbo on 14 November 2009, 17:18
Well as you know i got rid of the bad boy bonnet a few months ago. This is how it was...

Then got rid of the bad boy bonnet. Swapped a lad on Durham Dubs his bonnet and grill for mine and it looked like this...

And still wasnt happy so saw a ABS R32 bumper advertised in classifieds and went to collect it £60 bargain for a abs one. Ordered the genuine grills from VW. Also had to order a bumper badge recess cap. The cap was needed as was to be plastic welded in to bumper. So i then dropped the bumper / Grills and recess piece off at my cousins bodyshop and let him work his MAGIC. And this is how it looks now ( sorry for crappy pics just picked it up an hour ago and its dark ) Will upload daylight ones tomorrow. Will also give it a wash. As usual all comments are welcome.

ah i c well even if you can get plastic replicas they should be a decent fit. My cousin says abs is so much easier to work with as you can see by my bumper.
