Hey gvido If it was my car I'd put a vento front end on it , looks classy when done right with the rebadged grill.

I wouldn't go down the rat look route myself it's not cool anymore mate..

Get googleing vento fronted golf estates and cabrios for some inspiration:-)

I'm aware of that whole Golf/Jetta front end thing and I have been considering it. The best way to do it would be if I could find someone with a Vento who wants a Golf front.

If I was going to make it ratty, I wouldn't go as far as most of them do.

I kinda like the way I have the grille now. (today I did something thread if you haven't seen it yet)

Did you get rid of the bora?

Still have it but I'm going to sell it. Just have to put the original air filter box on and stuff like that.

It's a shame the Bora has 5 studs, where as the Golf has 4. I have nearly brand new Goodyears up front on the Bora.

Personally, OEM+ it. They're getting pretty rare and I wouldn't do anything that would ruin it.

Would it be worth your while to get them changed over?

I probably would but the wheels are not the same size either.

Do you not work at a car garage by the sounds of all that with badges and managers you don't.

Whenever a manager asks you a car related question , you will answer correctly.

You should ask him a question back like "how do you change an inlet manifold in saab" or "do you know how to change a thermostat in a Ford/opel/vw ?"

And when he can't answer the questions you just pin that L plate to his shirt

Not so bad so. Compared to what you've done with the Saabs it's probably handy enough. 11 euro an hour is good going. Id say your one of a very few halfords employees that actually has a decent knowledge of cars the ones in kilkenny don't seem to have a clue. I've seen them making some very rough attempts at changing car bulbs before.
