Hi Realise this has probably been asked a thousand times, but do I only need the headlights and grill to convert my Mk2 Golf to Jetta front end or do I need the slam/front panel too?
Yes you will need the front slam panel, I did when I swapped the front ends on my Jetta and Golf Edited by: Jetta
vento front ends on mk3 golfs look lush! doesnt help this thread but i thought i would mention it! Edited by: CabrioRags
go for it mate, took me 2 hours to do it, get a front panel from german and swedish or euro car parts, there 30 quid with post. All u need then is the headlights and grill.
were`s about are you ive got a jetta front end with a debadged grill on a 16v ime braking,mail me for details
Just done this today. For some reason it's not quite a perfect fit - top of lights and grille sticks out about half in too much. Looks kinda wierd without the eyebrow spoiler. Does anyone who's done this before know if it's supposed to be like this - and if not how to make it fit better? I'mthinking maybe the bonnet can be adjusted a little to compensate... Appreciate any ideas. For the record, I don't think it's worth the hassle, especially if it doesn't fit properly and lacks the eybrow (can't fit the eyebrow because of the misalignment).
mine fits fine? with an eyebrow fitted after? cant see what you've done there but yea mattingg, dead easy to do, think its about 10 bolts, and i picked the lot up from the scrappy for 25 and made the debadged grille myself
Jolfa, I'm not too sure what's wrong either since all the holes match up. Could there be a possibility that it wasn't assembled properly because I bought it pre-assembled? It's 11 bolts if you include the two holding the rad . I got it off Ebay. Any chance of a picture of the corners where the lights meet the wing?
I've looked at your Jolfa pics - but need a close up. No worries, I'll just take it off and apart when the weather's a bit warmer.
