When you find a good one, Do it properly and weld the bonnet  :smiley: The bonnet notches make me die a little bit inside..   :grin:

I saw a nice mk4 which as a straight edge of the bonnet. And the top of the badge was just chopped off look nicee!.

The bumper piece isn't hard to do. Sand the area back. Plastic weld it in. Filler. Respray the area.  :smiley:

as mentioned, do it properly, the proper kit, will be a 2-slat grille, with a metal piece to be welded onto the bonnet and a plastic piece to be plastic welded onto the bumper

FK ones have the bit that cover the bumper recess, but seems the grilles sag abit in the middle.

Believe FK also make the 2 slat one.
