vento front end conversion parts for mk3 golf.

[robjackson]

Hi folks,
Iv seen it done, and have looked at older ads and threads relating to this subject, so i thought id test the water to see if any of this stuff is available right now going cheap.
So if anyones got any thoughts or sugestions then please feel free to coment or offer me some or all of the gear needed.
So I'm after vento headlights, grille, and bonet to put onto my mk3 golf.

I rekon i could probly manage this up the drive in an afternoon with a beer.
Cheers guys

You will manage it in 20-30 mins, its such a straight forward swap.

They come up on the forums for anywhere between £100 and £300 dependant on condition and forum. You want to keep an eye on Edition38 and GolfGTIforum.

Keep scouring ebay, they tend to go on average for £50 - £100. But don't come up so often.

I paid £80 for mine, and got the early grille at a steal of a price (mega rare). I just found someone else a full front end with late grille for £80, and an early grille for £20 without the bottom metal flash.

Ill keep an eye out, and post up if I see any for sale.

Like this one in Durham:

No price though, its a breaker thread.

absoloute doddle of a job, ive got a mk3 golf and also had a vento in the same colour, so one night in the pitch black, armed with a torch and a beer i swapped the front ends over, took no longer than 30mins and i had 2 sweet looking cars, sold the vento now but still got the golf. golfs look great with the vento front end, I'm hopefully getting a mk3 golf vr6, would love to vento that.
