Jetta Front - Do They Look Cr*p??
« on: 22 August 2005, 23:16 »
Would a Jetta front grille/headlights look cr*p on my Mk2? I'm still not convinced that debadged grilles look good, so trying to think of something else to do with the front. The Jetta bits seem easily available, I presume it goes straight on as they are basically the same car.............just not sure it would be a good idea... :undecided:

you need the slam panel, headlights and grill. thats all! they can look ok with a deep eyebrow spoiler but at the end of the day they aint a rallye front end! i personally don't like them too much.

Thanks Joe - was thinking about an eyebrow spoiler too but didn't realise the slam panel was different. Just an idea - probably won't bother to be honest. If I was rich, would definitely go for Rallye parts - sadly I am poor white trash!  :grin: Saw your engine in the Golf+ mag, very clean indeed!

oh and you can pick up a jetta front end for about £20 all in.......... just in case you wanted to give it a go.

Sorry, but I HATE the jetta front end on a Mk2. Totally recks the look of the car IMO.

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.

In short - Yes....... its not meant to be you either want a Golf or Jetta. If you want to change the front there plenty of good MK2 kits available - or just keep it the way Wolfsburg intended.
