Keelan Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hi, I'm new here but have had my Lupo for over a year now.I have many Ideas but little funds at the moment but was interested in changing the front end outI've seen a few different things around some as ridiculous as the A3 aftermarket partI was looking at the 3L front end as i like the lights and grillebut i prefere the bottom to the GTi.Does anyone know if the two combine together straight of they need some work to get them to fit to each other and then to my 99' 1.7 SDiAlso any ideas on part prices that have been heard to pay before of any best places to source parts. (I know Ebay is good) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keelan Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) well that royally sucks. I think it would look so much tidier with the GTi colour coded bottom to it, along with the fog mountings lines being nicer Edited June 5, 2013 by Keelan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keelan Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Is it:longer towards the arches?orlonger across the front?(the 3L is longer towards the arches and either needs the arches cut back or the 3L bumper cut back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 The arches are wider, you need to replace the whole front end really, or modify the bumper/arches so they fit flush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
