this has got me thinking of the past again. I started off with a xr3i but that was stolen whilst I was on holiday, unable to find another I bought a mk6
converting the front to look like a mk5 is very easy but the parts can add up to a lot of money. I would not touch the rear lights, why bother?
after these pictures the car was fitted with a whale tail, painted and looked ok. Also note the car is lowered on 17inch wheels.
found this on ebay, worth a look
