will a mk5 polo front end bolt onto my 96 mk4

Featured Replies

As above really, i like the look of the mk5 polo shape front end & would like to know if it will bolt straight onto my 1996 front end??

Also is there any difference in the rear end? Many thanks

I apologize in advance if this has been asked before.....

What do you mean by a later Mk4? Do you mean Mk5? Or are you maybe getting confused with the Mk4 16v/GLX/SE/GTI front bumper?

Maybe it is a mk5 then lol :oops:

Lets all take the pi$$ out of the newbie :lol:

you need bonnet, lights, bumper, wings and slam panel. i think

it can be done tho.

^^^ they do look very similar, shouldnt be a hard job to swap over then :-)

Also title edited 8-)

its not quite a simple as, "bonnet, lights, bumper, wings and slam panel"

Do to part of the metal plier behind the wing needs cutting and a few other bits

It can be done yeah but its not all that simple.

Any one got a link atall to someone that has done this in the past?

Commented on a thread about this last month, if you wanted a 6n2 front, you'd have been better off buying a 6n2 over the 6n! Yeah it can be done (in fact it has been!), but you're stuck with the drawbacks of the 6n which were sorted in the 6n2 (interior design for one!)

Not a completely biased view, but the 6n2 is the slightly better polo, so why spend money on making a 6n look like one when there are plenty of cheap 6n2's kicking about?
