david.hanagan 0 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hi allAfter much consideration in selling my recently purchased VR6 to but a MK1, i have decided i am going to keep it as i like the power and carry on doing bits to make it exactly how i want it.The first thing on my list is to do a much loved Vento front end conversion which is why i am posting this. I know this subject has been covered numerous times but i couldnt find anything that answered my questions exactly, so thought i would quickly post to get an exact answer (Plus im awful with the search option).Basically can anyone advise of the exact bits i require to do the conversion? Is it just a bonnet, grille and lights? And once purchased will it all just swap over?Can anyone also advise where the best place to look will be as i cant find anything on the bay of e, and if they done a Vento in the same black colour of my Highline?Any answers would be gratefully received as it will all help somewhere down the line.ThanksDavid Link to post Share on other sites
HAMMER_VR6 0 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Bonnet lights and front grill all you need. i bought one from local breakers yard yesterday. Have another look on the BAY of E and search VW VENTO BREAKING may get lucky Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I think the bonnet sits a bit further forward as well. Link to post Share on other sites
david.hanagan 0 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I think the bonnet sits a bit further forward as well.When you say further forward how do you mean? What does that affect?Does anyone know if they do the Vento in the Highline Black? Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Well, i may be wrong with this, I havent had too much experience with golfs, mainly in ventos. But i think the golf bonnet is a tad shorter if that makes sense, so a vento one will rest more over the lights, a golf bonnet will still fit though. Link to post Share on other sites

david.hanagan 0 Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I think that may be the case. Still struggling to find anything for sale at all though. Any ideas where to look? Link to post Share on other sites
