Just thought about converting the front end of my mk1 to a mk2, only coz they look sweeter,

I am guesing it aint the hardest job to do, wot bits would i need to get, guesing two mk2 wings right

does any 1 know how much is it likely to cost me to do, excluding the spraying , paint, and how much to get it sprayed, but it depends on paint cost really.

For what you'd pay for a pair of new wings, grill headlights and indicators and bumpers, you could buy a knackered powered mk2, all the bits you'd need, and if you felt brave enough you'd have a mk2 dash to fit as well!!

Dont do it! Mk1's are the future.

If you want a Mk2, buy a mk2. Would be a LOT easier, quicker, and prolly cheaper.








And less likely to have me moaning at you for it :lol:

Yeah, you can still get the kit but it'll cost upwards for ?200. Why not get GTE bumpers and a grill or an SR front spoiler and grill. They're not so common anymore and the'd have a sweet old school appeal to them. Oh, and Paint them Grey!!

I did a post a few posts back about changing the bumpers over and went into detail about doing an upgrade to mk2. not sure where it is - no more than 4 back thnough
