Right Ive bought myself a vento front end complete with the early type grill which will need painting and fitting etc.At the moment on my car I pretty much like my front end which is Hella quads so im a little undecided weather to bother so I thought I would put it to a poll and see what you guys think.Ive put a picture of my current front end and a picture of Drews front end comments welcome :smiley:
Hella

I've always preferred yje vento front mate...
-
In fact, you should definately keep the hella's and sell me the front end. haha
-
some cars look good with hella quads (like yours and some dont :smug:),
id say stick with the quads but your car.
-
vento front, sell the quads
on a side note, im looking for some hella quads if anyone wants to sell me some :P
-

I really like my own front but must admit mikesters and drews do look nice.Can someone just confirm that the one I have is the early type grill thanks.

Keep the Quads mate
-
Yep, that's the earlier grille.
-
go vento and sell me there quad's lol
-
:smiley: pleased about the grill
-
go vento and sell me there quad's lol
Noof, you want the hella, I want the vento. That way I see it is we fight to the death and winner takes the ones he wants, leaving 16v the other, or we join forces, and take them both by storm :grin: :grin:
-
who said im gonna sell the hellas :grin:
-
well m8 we should wait till he gets the vento on then it's easier for me that you, lol
-
stick to the quads :cool:
-
I was thinking the same and was even thinking of buying that front end (if it was the one on here from Cannock). I PM'd the guy this morning but I would go Vento Buddy :wink: :wink:
-
I noticed Dean it motivated me to go early this morning but to be fair I did strike a deal with him yesterday and arranged pick up.Im going to tint my hellas see how they look just not sure just yet how the front would look as my car is pretty standard wheels etc the pics of drews and mikesters are with bigger wheels etc and de-arched it might not look right have to see just wanted to see the general vibe on here :smiley:

No problem whatsoever Buddy....I was unsure like you and wanted to experiment as I have always fancied one but also like the quads.
It's not a problem anyway Mate as I will only end up buying it from you when you get bored of it :grin: :grin:
-
To be honest the thing that really made me buy it is the early grill as ive been told there pretty rare and very sought after the head lights are also pretty mint its tuff call as I do like the quads :undecided:

Spray it Dragon Green Mate and I will test it out for you :grin: :grin:

I voted vento because OEM
But what is wrong with the standard gti front end? I'm doing a project now and because vento and hellas have been done to death, I think it will be nice to keep the standard front end for a change.
-
I agree with them being done to death usually the way with things that look good and I do like standard twin chamber gti lights which ive also got but ive always liked quads just my taste but theres nothing wrong with the standard front end :smiley:
-
I recently found out hella quads are OM. They were a dealer fit option...
-
Yeah was they an optional extra?
-
yeah. I literally found that out a week ago. I always thought they were put on the touring cars, and then aftermarket companies copied them
-
I own a golf and vento..
But i want the vento front on the vento, and vento on the golf... bad times :(
-
no mk3 rolled out the factory with hella quads. hella is OEM but not the quads
I also had them on my 16v but have gone off them now, bit like over played music.
-
As I said before good things are always common as there sought after and its personal taste but Ive got all 3 now standard Twin chambers,Hella Quads and Vento :grin:

Yeah, they're dealer fit, not factory fit. That is what I have been told at least.
-
Just checked, they were a proper VW bit of kit, although you can't get them through VW anymore.

Vento front FTW!
Currently on the look out for one myself... :cool:

stop trying to convince him to put it on his and there'll be one for sale here :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
i voted vento :grin:
-
Hella twins
-
See, everyone says Vento fronts are done to death, but I don't think they are.
Which is why I think you should keep the hellas and send me the vento front :grin:
-
The Hella twins really suit your car, more so than a lot of mk3's infact BUT...I am very partial to a well executed Vento front end and think if it's anything like the one that you've pictured then why the hell not.

Drews vento front pictured in the OP is probably the best that i've seen!
-
LOL Dom! If he decides the twins are better i get first dibs on the vento front :D
Vento fronts also look AWESOME murdered!

:grin: Your welcome to it, my car has eaten too much of my money recently.
-
If i got another Mk3 i would probably go Vento again.
I had hella quads at first but just dont think they look as slick.
-
hella is OEM but not the quads
They are as close as it gets tho pal - you could specify them when u bought a mk3 brand new or purchase them as aftermarket kit via the dealer network
Oh, and im no fan of vento front :sick:
-

The quads do look good but murdered vento front for the WIN :smiley:

where would be a good place buy some hella quads and the surrounds :rolleyes:
-
I say quads all the way ! but if you do decide to go the other then I want another set for my anni.

30 voters but the Vento is just in front :grin:
-
I live not far away so if the quads come up for sale ??????
lol

-
Ventoi front is too common these days as is Hella twins, why not go back to standard tinted headlamps.
-
thing is Hella twins have been on mk3's since new, so saying its too common now is a bit off dont you think wayne mate, i mean sure on here alot have them but on the roads they dont.
Worth mentioning the Joey mod lights are more over done than both vento fronts and hella twins -
just look on ED38
id say all 3 of these options are popular in the scene and just go with waht you prefere as a individual, some cars suit a certain style more than others :cool:
-
Joey, Hella and Vento are all fairly common because, as far as I'm aware, they're the three main types. Other than that I can only really think of the mk4 styles, or angel eyes.
I prefer the first three because they all came from VW as new.
Although, if you want to do something different...

(I know this pic would have turned up before, I'm purely putting here to point out what NOT to do to the front end)
-
I go to 2 different meets through out the year one is every wednesday and you always get a good mix of mk3 golfs.In the time ive been going I can honestly only recall 2 other mk3s ive seen there with Quads and ive noticed now that Joey modded seems to be far more popular and a fair few with the mk4 style set up or angel eyes.I personally think the Quads are the best of the bunch thats just my view I still like the others though.Im looking forward to fitting the Vento front on my Anni it will be intresting to see if it goes well as my car as its pretty standard looking really.
-
I got a Vento but am absolutely gutted that my old mint Golf bonnet got run over. :sad:
But I see the Vento as just standard really, nothing special.
Then now I keep seeing twins and even dual chambers like Dom's and am just like :drool:
