...What you want is a rear damaged 3.5 cab to rip the front off and the switches and the dash so that you get all of the red/blueness and MK4 looks, this would probably be the easiest thing to work from as you would have all the parts.

rockinghorse poo to find one though. :sad:

im keeping eyes open for one, dash would be no good, i sit on the wrong side of car to drive  :laugh: :laugh:

cant remember if its a direct fit exactly, i know a guy who has done the mod, and im certain it was...but u need to look at the rear end of the car also as it looks soooo out of place with the normal mk 3 rear...

vento front is gash btw :grin:

forgot about the back end :laugh: any idea what would go with front end.  I like the look of Len back bumper that showing in his sig looks good, think that would't be a bad match to the front end. :grin: :grin:

I have to say its nice but it looses the MK3'ness about it... and like you say if you dont like the MK3 front... just get a MK4  :grin: 

what about if you like the mk4 front, but don't want an over weight, p**s poor handling boat of a car??   :grin:
