Westmoreland or Rallye, but be prepared to have your pants pulled down!

Avg price for a good set-up is about £400-500.

best bet is sourcing all the bits in a scrappy, gives you chance to acquire all the correct bolts and fixings, and you can work out how it assembles together. its not difficult to remove all the parts; 2 screws on the grill (plus a handful of clips, be careful), unplug the spotlamps and pull the grill away, undo the radiator mount bolts (2 on top), 7 bolts hold the slam panel on (comes off complete with the horn and headlamps, dont forget the bolt in the centre behind the bumper) and lift it up and away. the bumper can stay in place. i did it 3 cars up in the local scrappy without falling off so its dead easy.  :grin:

 most second hand grills have broken clips though so be prepared to splash out on a new one.


I don't think a semi will give the same results

I have all the bits you need for a 4 gti set up. PM me if you want prices.

As for type of front end, it's your choice at the end of the day. I have had jetta, standard, rallye blah de blah de blah.

Do as you feel. it's your car.  :smiley:
