Default Mk3 bonnet on a Mk4?!?!?!

Any problems fitting it.. dont care what it looks like, But what does it line up like, And is there any issues with headlights not being a mk3?




Im gonna have a major open front end when its done, But I dont want to have to cut the front end off the mk4 bonnet

mk3 slam panel (and front panel maybe?)
possibly wings, depending on the scuttle panel?

The scuttle has different angle slopes on it, the wings wont line up with it very well.

NO SLAM panel???? Thats gota be an MOT failure thats fairly structural

I reckon you should just cut the bonnet, is it worth the hassle changing the whole front end just to avoid it?

Cutting the bonnet probably will be easier as you need the scuttle also to match a MK3 bonnet

Won't take a few second with a big 'ol angle grinder
