Why would you? The whole point of the Mk2 was to do away with the need for the ugly bull nose :wink:

I find the bullnose more attractive than the Mk2 front... :-)

Yep, but the mk2's I saw in classified have more powerful engines. And here in France, you cannot swap your engine easily...

To do the conversion you would need bumper, infill panels, grille, bonnet and wings. That's gonna cost you a few Euros, not easy to find those parts either. Lot of work to end up with an ugly mutt if you ask me :wink:
