Front end conversion - which one? You decide!
« on: 24 March 2009, 21:48 »


Which front end to go on this car? Which ever one gets the most votes I will order either tonight or tomorrow!

First choice:
The GTI

Second choice:
The R32

Obviously not OEM - but r32 'style' - direct fit replacement for my car - rather than changing the bumper supports etc...

I was leaning towards the gti - I agree with the 'shiny' comment, and also think the red strip would compliment my colour

R32 front can be nice but you'd really want an OEM one, not a cheap knock off!
I think you shouldn't do any front end conversion! Debadge the back and the rabbit is very sleepery  :cool: Then again I'm not sure if they even sell lower engine spec cars alongside the rabbit  :undecided:. I know I'd surprise people over here if they thought I was running a 1.4 or 1.6 and I took off with my 2.5 V5  :laugh:

Go with the GTI one - dont like the chrome on the R32.
