« on: 06 February 2011, 19:18 »
Fancey doing something diferant to me headlights and grill so was considering doing the vento fronts end conversion.
What parts from the vento do I need and how do I do the convesion?

Is it as simple as bonnet,headlights and grill change?

the words 'differnt' and 'vento front' dont go together when it comes to mk3's as every other mk3 has been ruined with one :wink:

hi mate,

cant fault you for wanting to be diff, but your mk3 looks well as it is, id loose all chrome extras and maybe joey mod the headlights, reckon itll look spot on like that :)

cheers for the imput mate but im not realy a fan of the making black cars blacker thing.

i like the contrasting diferances on a dark colour car.
i see lots of black cars with black lights and not realy my cup of tea.
i like the crisp shiney look

i was thinking vento front end with these headligths

Just a heads up that by all reports the quality of these headlights is rather poor.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

and iv seen those lights on a vento and they look sh!t!

instead of joey modding the lights black... thought about adding a colour!
black car with bright green lights would look awesome in the day time!!
