Not a fan of the Vento Front on a mk3 (always reminds me of a saxo???) but you've done a good job.

He did indeed sell it with golf front end. And he wanted a 316 coupe. I took my time to fit his coillies and everything.

as wayne says go with CL bumpers as its something 'differnt' as im pretty sure vw didnt make millions of CL mk3's with them on :undecided:

Try finding a set then in good enough condition to use :smiley:

Yes they may have made millions but with so many having been switched to colour matched bumpers means all black bumpers are getting harder to find.

thanks guys think i'll just stick with bumpers i've got at the min as they don't look too bad?
next step is to sort the rear brake out as they're grinding quit badly (wellt hinks its the brake?)
and then get it slammed.
