Turns out the roof bars are actually for a Jetta Sportwagen - otherwise known as a Golf estate - Doh!

Not sure what im going to do with the front ends I have now - I may just fit this for shows and keep my original front grill on it most of the them.

Alrighty Polo6

Just seen your post on my new member thread, i like the colour coded front grill on your colour. Phaeton alloys look good on Jetta too.

Need to see pictures of your Alfa numberplate mod, I am thinking (not done) of sticking on a bra (new in bag) to front of mine and stick a sticky numberplate to this. Sticky plates not legal (caterham/mx5/rx8 have them) but better than none as i keep ducking when 5o go past me.
Must be nice to have a choice to change front ends, if you were ever to sell 1 i know Chris 763 is after 1.

Keep up the good work

Good to see a few Jettas on here. Loved them since I went to Shark and they had Darkside's Jetta there.

I've got a 50% size plate sitting here ready to go on a home made bracket (the Alfa one looked sh*t when i lined it up)

I bought another of the headlight washer inserts, which is just black plastic and screwed a metal bracket to it & im going to stick the small plate to the bracket. (I hope you followed that!)

I'll get pics once its fitted!

Still got so much left to do!

Ed30 front splitter
R-line foglign covers and centre lower grill
Fit my smooth front clip & relocate the number plate
Finish tinting the rear lights
Fit The GLi side skirts and rear valance
Fit my Votex 3 piece boot spoiler
New wheels are on the cards

And I want all this done before I move house at the end of March!
