Re: WTT: Front End Swap

there is another guy from clubveedub that was also interested, I am probably going to be down in calgary March 8th and 9th, galiactic blue and indigo are fairly close but in sunlight you can tell there is a shade difference, that doesn't matter to me though.

Re: WTT: Front End Swap

This technique has been tried several times and I think usually what just works best is to buy the parts either from a wrecker or new and do the swap yourself. I even tried it with my mk3 which is a lot easier (Only need lights grill and hood) and still had no luck.

Not trying to be a downer, but I have yet to see a successful swap by going this route.

Also unless the paint is an exact match it's not worth it either as a body shop will charge more time to get used panels looking good whereas new panels can just be painted without any prep.

Re: WTT: Front End Swap

Well I have some interest and there is a guy that has the same paint code as me on CVD but he is very tied up recently so I'm keeping my options open.

Well good luck as I really like both swaps! Hopefully you can get it happening sooner rather than later.
