mk3 front end - opinions wanted.
« on: 14 March 2007, 07:59 »
bonjoruno all....

with the interior approaching a finished level, and with her going in for more lowering on the 20th, its about time to move onto the front end.

this is what she currently looks like (excuse the flith, getting a clean friday!  :embarassed: )



mk4 style headlights
crystal indicators and fogs
'bad boy' style headlight eye brow
some funky de-badge grill

however, the adjusters are buggered on 1 of the headlights, the indicators let water in, and eyebrow spoiler is plain nasty, and the grill has got a couple of broken clips. but this is where the problems come and i cant make my mind up.... so you lot are goin to help  :laugh:

now, the obvious option is to re-seal the indicators, buy new mk4 style headlights, and a new de-badge grill. then get the grill and the bonnet re-sprayed, (the paint is bubbling on the bonnet, so needs tackling)

however, ive fallen for a grey mk3 with a vento front end i saw at ultimate dubs...

so, do i ...............

do a front end similar to gaz's new vr6? (mk4 crystals, crystal indicators + fog, 2 slat de-badge grill)
do a standard lookin vento front end
or go for a de-badged vento front?

also..... crystal indicators, or standard clear, or even smoked?
