The front wings look like they've been altered slightly around the edge of the lights.

So, mk2 conversions are common.

Are there many Mk3s with a 'Rado front?...
Title: Re: Will mk2 bonnet fit on mk3
Post by: murraymint on 16 February 2013, 20:28
I've seen a caddy van with a rado bumper, not good...

Don't think the rado front will suit a mk3, its a much more narrow 'pinched' front end.

Good to see this old chestnut pop up again, why anybody would want to make a mk3 look like a classic mk2 is beyond me.

I don't think it looks too bad but if you want it to look like a mk2 then just get a mk2.

Aaaasaaaaaaaaahhhh hahahaha Mk2 front end on a mk3, corrado front on a mk3, what the fecs wrong with you guys? I'd vomit in my mouth if I saw one in person, it looks horrendous. It's like max power 10 years ago. What about a tt front end.
