Would be some major fabrication work to get that on mate.

What most people do is get a MK3.5/MK4 covertible front end. Still needs a bit of fab work but it's all fairly bolt on. It's different to the normal MK4.  :smiley:

The standard mk4 front end will not fit, mk3.5 cabrio will but needs mods.

Why bother.....if you want the looks of a Mark 4 buy a Mark 4. Would be cheaper than making this work

Definitly agree... The mk4 end looks too big for the mk3, looks really out of proportion!
Stick with the mk3 front end or listen to Deano2711!

The MK4 front end looks SICK if done correctly and smoothed...
Go for it mate, stand out from the rest on the roads :afro:
I believe its all bolt on apart from the wings which need some welding !

(Does need to be the parts from a mk3 Cab)
