ok thanks for the info ppl......
i would buy a vento if a) i could afford to run 3 cars b) convince my missus to buy another VW and c) drive a car that big in & around Edinburgh with out worrying about trying to find somewhere to park it
i think the front end swap would look cool, i certainly havent ever seen any on the road up here, and at least it can be changed when you get bored, mkII still has a jetta front on it
