Bolf? Views, easy to do? etc
« on: 25 August 2011, 12:57 »
Just thought id start this thread as i have always thought that the Bolf when done properly is a great looking car.

so here is a few questions on the conversion and what people think of it.


is it a straight swap?


does it make a lot of difference to insurance?


Does everyone like the after market front end or a smoothed standard?


Pic? or favorite bolfs?





Looking forward to the replies on this one :D

Lots of work.

I like Boras. I don't like standard Golfs.

Bolfs can look awesome!

Lots of work.

No need for the slam panel, all you need is the wings, bumper grille and bonnet.

And it'll take someone who is competent with spanners 1.5-2hrs max.

Interesting, the couple I have seen on ED38 changed the slam / front panel. :undecided:

Headlamps are needed as well.

I've got one, you don't need it.

Forgot about the glass bits at the front. Haha.
