Vento front end
« on: 25 April 2010, 16:26 »
Hi all,

Basically i've decided that i'm going to go with the vento front end but i want to get the early grill, i'm sure you all know what this looks like and what i'm looking for.

i've been to every scrap yard in my area looking for one and i'll be damned if i'm payin 150 quid for one off some american website!
i'm lookin for the grill mainly because i found a bonnet and lights at the scrappy.

Does anyone have one? or know were i can buy one from?

cheers guys

Scrapyard. Bought a whole Vento front end (including early grill + EGR headlamp protectors) for £100!

Sold the headlights, headlight protectors, and bonnet for £100 + a set of Hella quads which I sold for £150 Can't remember whether I sold the grill for £70 or £75. Either way, that means I got over £320 for my Vento front end :grin:

The joys of working at a VW breakers.
