Title: VENTO FRONT END CONVERSION?
Post by: CHRIS_MC on 04 March 2008, 19:00

Would i be right in thinking that you need the slam panel AND the bonnet?...

its a good look, just looks like it could prove to be quite hard sourcing a complete conversion including the bonnet...

also can anyone answer me this, do i need PCD adaptors to fit 'Porsche Design 90 Alloys on my mkIII. (my car is an gti 8v,totally standard)?

im guessing yes & yes

And if you really really want one I have a complete (allthough its not moved in 5 months) white 1.8 to get rid of!! just needs some battery power and the brakes easing.... :wink:

allthough I was thinking of fitting the front to mine!! :lipsrsealed:

ok thanks for the info ppl......

i would buy a vento if a) i could afford to run 3 cars b) convince my missus to buy another VW and c) drive a car that big in & around Edinburgh with out worrying about trying to find somewhere to park it

i think the front end swap would look cool, i certainly havent ever seen any on the road up here, and at least it can be changed when you get bored, mkII still has a jetta front on it
