what i mean is keep the flared arch by fitting mk4 wings - they are basically the same as mk3 but with a flared arch (mk3 has a narrower arch) where as the mk5 has differnt swage lines :D

do the mk 4 wings keep nice gaps with the mk5 bonnet...
are mk4 + 5 lights the same? (if so then the mk4 grill wont look to far out of sorts :?: :!: )


ive a broken grill on my mk 5 but rather like the mk3 one...thats my twisted thinking...if im going to have to spend some dolla i may aswell improve at the same time :wink:
