Thing i would do is search ebay, ask some people breaking cupras how much for the front end, dont forget to factor in respray costs though, that wont be cheap but will be worth it.

Be aware its not quite a bolt on fit. You will have to cut your inner wings so the headlights fit. You'll also need to fabricate some brackets to hold the radiator on to the Mk3 front panel. Oh and then rewire the loom to the Mk3 plugs for the lights

I'm still considering the same but am not too certain about it. Pete's looked amazing but a lot of hard work lol

aint the first front end conversion ive done , but the way i see it ive got replace all of the above so may as well replace with the mrk 3 .
looking at around 500 of ebay , but going to hunt around the scrappies when off work , will start thread when starting it ,
