i want to change the look of my golf, i very rarely see golfs with corrado or jetta grills anymore.
ive found a jetta (1990) at my local scrappy in very good condition and was wondering what id have to do to fit it to my (1990 mk2 golf 8v digifant),..
i know the trend is to go with rally or corrado grills but the rally parts are hard to get hold of and know that corrado parts need a bit of work to make them fit...
can anyone help?..........
-
headlamps, grill, slam panel is all you need, straight swap.
-
thanx for the advice so do i really have to change the slam panel aswell it looks like its just bolted in is it easy to change it,,,,oh and thanks again bud
-
yes you definately have to change the slam panel.
its held in by about 9 10mm bolts, two on top, either side, two bolting onto the chassis legs and one in the middle at the bottom, just about accessable with big bumpers if you look through the slot in the bumper.
