Hi all,
Basically i've decided that i'm going to go with the vento front end but i want to get the early grill, i'm sure you all know what this looks like and what i'm looking for.
i've been to every scrap yard in my area looking for one and i'll be damned if i'm payin 150 quid for one off some american website!
i'm lookin for the grill mainly because i found a bonnet and lights at the scrappy.
Does anyone have one? or know were i can buy one from?
cheers guys
-
vr6 joe?
-
Sold my grill to DrewGTI for £75 iirc
-
The one in his sig? :grin:
-
Indeed! Worth a pretty penny second hand!
-
I would say!
-
where did you get if from in the first place?
i think i'm just going to have to keep searching the scrap yards :cry:
-
Scrapyard. Bought a whole Vento front end (including early grill + EGR headlamp protectors) for £100!
Sold the headlights, headlight protectors, and bonnet for £100 + a set of Hella quads which I sold for £150 Can't remember whether I sold the grill for £70 or £75. Either way, that means I got over £320 for my Vento front end :grin:
The joys of working at a VW breakers.
-
The one in his sig? :grin:
Yes, worth every penny!!
Cheers joe fog holding on to it.
Oh and was £70 :cool: would of gone higher tho :wink:

No problem matey, and indeed, worth every penny! Best looking grill they ever made! I knew it was around that price, just couldn't remember exactly, seems so long ago now haha
-
They come up on edition 38 a lot, think i got my one for about £60-£70 although was a 2 hour round trip to collect.
-
which vw breakers was it from? i went to a vw breakers near me and they didnt have anything.
could you keep an eye out for one? i'll pay anything lol
-
All this talk of Vento front ends is making me crave one :(
-
Don't do it mate, every man and his dog has one

Was thinking about that but not sure which
way to go about it and if it will look good against
the red?
Either your way or that lamix stuff?
-

I'll change that, mark me words, it'll be every bit as good. :cool:
Don't think it can be better though as yours is near on perfect, but I aim to be just as good.

Do it dude, tinted headlights look good on a red car! Post a pic in the virtual mods section and get someone to photoshop them on to see if you like it. I reckon it'll look cool tho :cool:
-
I do like smoked headlights!
Think they would suit lovely with the red IF the whole car follows the same colour scheme!
I Don't think i will Joe, I am in love with the original front end, might have to get me a set of smokes though :)
Just a thought but will the early vento grill fit with the rest of the original golf front end?
Since thats my favourite bit :rolleyes:
-
Might tint but will see 1st.
No johnny, you need the square lights too...
And then that means bonnet also.
All or nothing. :smiley:
-
Awwwh that sucks :( LOVE that grill :'(
Might have to modify one to fit a standard GTi ;)
A bit off topic butttt i cant find a full set of Smoked fogs and indicators for sale in england!
They only sell in America!
And the only ones that are similar here have LED fogs... = GAY!!
-
i got a spare set of genuine smoked fogs and blanks like on my car, dont think i wanna part with them tho
