ScORTED Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 you need mk5 front end, bonnet bumper, wings, lights, front panel and grill however you can modify the front wings and the light panel making it a bolt on job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezmanian devil Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 You don't need to change the front wings, just screw the sidelights to the head lights. You need Mk5...

caldoofy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I've got an rs front bumper needs a very minor repair where the tow hook hole is only after 15 quid if any good. Not long done my front end to mk5 front wings were no probs had to be a little 'creative' with the bolts to get the lights to fit nicely but not too difficult.
