Not sure what the start date of the 3.5 was but I know they ended in 2002.

Look at the wings -

The front wings need mods where they meet the sills, good luck finding the parts.

I'm not a fan, too rounded for the rest of the car :)

Thats why i like vento fronts, the whole car is squareish anyway, so i think it suits better overall :)

Yeah, you need to cut the bottom bits off your mk3 wings and weld them onto the mk3.5 wings.
