(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/bmx_v_dubdub/cars/MK2ish.jpg)

-
Looks terrible mate, anyone who tries this must be shot
-
That one above looks photoshoped.
-
i doubt whether its photoshopped cause it looks sh!t. if i was gonna photoshop something i'd have made it look better than that! trust the yanks to take 2 good things and make 1 completely crap thing out of it!
-
NO :sick: :sick:

another one and personal opinion personaly i think its good and looks different rather then folowing the packs and packs of "hella twins lowerd wide small debadged tinted windows type of golf mk3's saying these are photoshopped just shows how differnt and unique they are now enough of the slating anyone know of any help with this mod.??

trouble with this is in real life the proportions probably wont end up like that, have you merasured to see if the MK2 lights will even fit the space? afaik the mk3 lights arnt as tall for a start.
if you want to do it then go ahead and try it, dont listen to what we say :P
-
measures up fine just fitments are going to b different! might need drawing back and brighter bulbs to get the same light range as the mk3 lamps!
-
Looks horrid.
-
Looks terrible mate, anyone who tries this must be shot
how can you say that you have a vento front end possibly the ugliest set of headlights VW have ever made aprt from the T4 sets
-
Have tbh and say that black one looks quite good, never seen it done though in real life.

He no longer has a Vento front. :smiley:

but he is now sporting a bra
whats worse vento front or a bra??
:grin: :grin:
joking joe lad, but would look million times better without the undies :wink:
-
personally i prefer the vento front ^^ maybe its just that picture + i really really loathe bonnet bras :sick: about as stylish as sock suspenders (http://www.fogeygentleman.co.uk/suspenders4.JPG)
Really dont mind the mk2 front but it doesnt look worth the hastle isnt that spectacu;ar just different for the sake
-
^^ It's not on there for style, it serves its purpose, it protects the bonnet from stone chips
I do a lot of driving on the A12/A14, and if you saw my grill you'd understand why it's on there :cry:
-
i have the same problem driving 80 miles a day, but do they really have to make them look so stupid ? :undecided:
how about vinyling the bonnet?
-
Shows up worse on a green car too! :sad:
Vinyl is a pain in the arse to work with lol
-
i did some recently, not on a car though, some 3M stuff, £20 would get enough for 2-3 bonnets + was easy enough to work with, just a thought.
-
What colour though?
-
mk2 front... not sure about the looks. the bumper seems to not look quite right with it in my opinion... but go for it! guessing it's probably vento bonnet...?? custom make the grill... i have no idea.. :lipsrsealed:
-
I said it before when this topic was brought up and I'll say it again. I like the MK2 fronts on the MK3, would have to be done right though and look smart.

and here was me thinking a mk3 couldnt look any worse :lipsrsealed:
Chuff proved Wrong :shocked:

What is the point of making a mk3 look like a mk2, must be easier / cheaper to sell it and buy a mk2.
-
Shows up worse on a green car too! :sad:
not as bad as a black car, i do lots of motorway driving but no bra,basically dont drive up folks arses is the key to minimal stone chips

same as vento front - just buy a vento
same as horrid bora front on a mk4 - just buy a boring...
mk3 looks best OE+ simple as that

i friggin love the mk2 look on a mk3 it looks so clean and smooth! i even went to do it to mine, bought a mk2 grill but then run out of money :grin: plus the scale of the job was a bit daunting specially as my mk3 is my everyday car so i didnt really know where to start! if anyone could find a guide on how to do it it would be amazing to have!!!

When it was first done it was to be different now everyone is doing it its lost its amazement factor.
Vento fronts are over played and a bit out of date if you ask me.

Don't think you'll find anything close to a guide. I saw a post on VW Vortex once that explained the trouble in even getting the thing to fit. The shape of the arches, size of grill, length of the front, position of everything, etc, all pretty different. If you do try, expect an awful lot of modifying bits and maybe some fabrication :lipsrsealed:
-
to fit you need
a mk2 front..
a huge tub of filler to blend and fill everything..
and bad eyesight!
Or you could go to a back street "chop shop" and get half a mk2 welded to half a mk3?
-

I do a lot of driving on the A12/A14, and if you saw my grill you'd understand why it's on there :cry:
Joe, I probably do more miles in a week than you do in a month :( And thats all on the bloody A12/A14 lol

mk3 golfgtiforum looks best OE+ simple as that
Fixed :wink:

I would agree with you, but modded mk3 with mk2 front looks different and unique, rather than usual mk2 or mk3, right? That's the whole point of changing it :rolleyes:
-

Yes but still the question remains why make a mk3 look like a mk2.
-
I like the black car in one of the photos! (whichever thread)
If I didnt have plans for my existing front then I would seriously consider that!

You're such a boring fart at times lol! People do it for the same reason the change the front end to a Vento, the MK4 to a Bora and so on, it's called choice, if people want to do it let them, not everyone shares your view :rolleyes:

Missing the point, Vento front is a simple conversion, Bora front needs a lot more changed but again a simple conversion but to make a mk3 look like a mk2 is a large amount of work for something that is pointless, not just me view by the way.
Less of calling me boring by the way. :grin:

My view is make it your car!
There are people out there that will always hate what you have done, so stick to your guns and be an individual.

Len never normally says such positive things. ha!

If its the individual bit well you cant say I'm not that! Like my car being different! :smug:

You feeling ok?

C'mon Mike! I have never said all cars should be the same.

But it could be related to your hate of engine conversions with a bit of imagination!

Yes but put yourself in Mike shoes, he has spent a lot on his car to get it to the standard it is now, so why not finish it off and fit a VR6.
However I cannot see the point of having a standard car and swapping engines when you could sell up and buy the same.

A Mk3 owner with a 5 door and hellas can ask that question? Is this legal? Is this ED38? Seems to have been a lot of comments from people with some dubious taste on this mod and none are helpfull. Must be ED38 then :grin:!

D90's are as played out as TT comps....
-
mike, dont matter to me, im not scene, i dont go to the shows and i dont hang out in car parks at meets, so it makes no odds to me if ya get me
got far too much other stuff on to do all that stuff, (which i did when i was 17 to 24) i just put on my car what i personally like and they have a OEM feel, i did my caps myself for a different feel and had the refurb done in a unusual grey to keep them a tad different to most
but iv seen no other 3's in leeds with them so im all good :)
and they sell second hand for what you pay for them, = good investment
but d90s and TT comps are a far cry from a mk 2 fronted mk 3
-
@ the op.
I suppose its different and may to some look good but the headlights on a mk2 are the worst bit of the car (you`d be better off with two candles!).

As far as I'm aware HID kits are not legal at all. But you can buy them! For less than £20 too!
hence why I put a wink smiley!

I think that needs major work to look good.

there is one near me which has actually put it on.
i was thinking of the idea ages ago too...

I really like that!
Wont be doing it on my current car but if I get a 3 door...........
-
found this ages ago, obviously a photoshop but it looks alot better than using the mk2 bits, just a set of twin headlights, a few standard grills and a bit of plastic welding, filling and a vento bonnet. only problem would be getting the single headlight chambers to act as sidelights dipped and high beams
(http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/7417/135ce.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/6/135ce.jpg/)
-
Seen that one before, it's better but still doesn't look quite right.
-
I still fail to see the point of making a mk3 look like a mk2. :rolleyes:
-
Likewise, why would you want to make your car look older than it actually is? :huh:
-
I'm sure I posted non-shopped pictures of cars with the modified single morrettes in this thread? Or maybe that was another thread about mk2 fronts :huh:
-
I made one mate and yes you did!
I like it! It's a nice change!
-
I dont get it, if i wanted a MK2 front i would have bought a MK2.
Some of them do look like they have been done well.
As with car modding, each to their own.
-
Can I just say the reason I chose to become a dub nut was because in the dub world it was all about being diferant and trying cool and crazey stuff with your vw,s.
Like the first cars I saw going realy low were dubs and first time I saw low with wheels sticking out arches it was dubs. Camber shims I'd never seen till I become a dubber. Even the rat look and all these diferant things are why I become a dubber yet when ever I see anybody trying something diferant on this site no matter how simple or bigger job they get slated.
What has happened to the world LOL
-
Different isn't always good.
If in the pursuit of originality you make something ugly as hell, it's not gonna be aesthetically pleasing just because it's unique.
If have the utmost respect for people that pull off new things.

Yeah not bad that one, done some miles though that has. :shocked:

Haha
Love it :D
-
It looks a bit upset :grin: It would be good if the seller posted more pictures of the front at different angles.

That was exactly I thought on my initial look, it looks bloody miserable and it isn't surprising really considering what has taken place to its face.

If this was possible without much work I'd be up for having a bash too :p I love the mk2 but can't afford one right now :(

My god that is ugly :shocked:
-
that's more like a vento conversion with modified vento lights
-
If you look closely the lights are mk2 units. Looks like they have been attached to a modified Vento grill. Wish I had pictures from more angles :undecided:
-
That is wrong, just wrong..
-
Wayne reading through this thread anyone would think you dident like the mk2 front end on a mk3 :laugh:

I don't, making a mk3 look like a mk2 is pointless to me, I would just buy a mk2.
-
I hate Vento fronts! But quite like a Mk2 look!
A Mk2 is naff! They break down and rattle themselves to pieces!
Also they do not come with ABS or air-con.
So a Mk3 is far superior!
So a Mk3 that looks like a Mk2 is cool in my book!

-
Well a nice mk2 is still a better car, yes it might not have many fancy mod cons and lets be honest who need abs or air con, a mk2 is a better drivers car, handles better, lighter, looks better etc.
Before anyone shouts rust they are no worse than mk3 so the question remains why bother making a mk3 look like a mk2 :huh:
-
I fully concur.
-
I don't really see why people bother comparing a Mk2 to a Mk3... They're different cars.
-
Well both are VW Golfs and in some cases were built in the same year so I think a comparable opinion on the two marks isn't exactly strange TBH.

Plus early mk3's used some mk2 parts
-
If people wanted a Mk2, surely they would own one?
-
Well a nice mk2 is still a better car, yes it might not have many fancy mod cons and lets be honest who need abs or air con, a mk2 is a better drivers car, handles better, lighter, looks better etc.
Before anyone shouts rust they are no worse than mk3 so the question remains why bother making a mk3 look like a mk2 :huh:
So true! Mk3's are rot boxes.
That said, ours wont die...
-
have to admit never had a mk3 break down on me.
had starter motor go and front engine mount bracket snap dropping the engine on the subframe via the oil filter at 60mph but the engine stayed running so that dont count lol.
-
As above, ours has been super reliable albeit on the rusty side!

Saw another one on vortex. From this year apparently. Don't have any more pictures I'm afraid.
