Look for intransit89 threads, very long waffly threads and doesnt come on here anymore. That was made from a MK5 top half and a MK4 bottom half, not sure how he bonded the 2 halfs, but I used plumbers cement for my MK3/4 one with a few strengthning strips and body filler to finish the front off

Thats the mutts! I really prefer the way a mk4 grille panel flares over the front bumper, just looks more finished :D

How could I have forgotten this winner from Transitmania 2012 Fordboynick has sold this bumper and bonnet to a forum member, so now only has to make another one for himself and few more for some more orders
