Grill looks much better :afro:

Do you know what would complete the front end for me? Joey modded headlights & a VR6 splitter :cool:

I'd love a White Mk3, so much potential to look flapping awesome :smiley:

Looking soooooo much better now man! And some alloys would really help but I'm not sold on those actual ones lol! I'm contemplating getting a second grill and paint it up the way you have!

And I completely agree! That Joey mod is a wicked touch, although get some GTI lights first!

Look at the headlights in my old MK3 in my sig pic. Basically you split the glass from the housing & paint anything inside which isn't a reflector black. I reckon that would look ace on your car :smiley:

There's a great guide here:

This has got a Vento front so is obviously slightly different but you'll get the idea:

Thats the Joey mod thread  :wink: as for modding the loom for the GTI lights? I'm not sure! I still have to plug mine in to find out!

I was too slow finding the links :rolleyes:

Gti headlights are just plug & play although you'll need extra bulbs. You also need to make sure you get lights with the correct plugs, some are square & some are oval depending on the year of the car. It's not the end of the world if you get the wrong ones as Eurowagens sell adaptors :smiley:
