Hi all

Looking at doing a Derby Front End conversion on my mk2 bready but would like to know how much work it actually entitles, so a build thread would be ace.

This is mainly for people who have done it before, I,e erixtar1992, onelegout ect

If this is a repost I appoligise in advance

Josh

All just screws or clips on dude.

Dude it needs no explaining.

Unscrew round lights

Screw in derby lights

Fit grill

Drive with your seat low and far back, like a boss

You missed Stick the trim on the end of the bonnet :p

You'll really want the rocking horse shit-esque bonnet strip too for the full effect and mega boss look. Which Eric doesn't have 'cause he has a fake 'Derby'

Sweet guys cheers, thought it may of been like the Golf/Bora with changing panels ect. Glad to know that it isn't.

In that case, know where I can get some lights?

I do have the trim but i dont use it because the pillock i got it off snapped it lol

So just use an eyebrow spoiler because it makes it look 'badman' haha

That's fair enough then haha

I'm using an eyebrow spoiler but not like yours. Bought it from K03, gives it more the bad boy rather than man look :L

The bonnet trim is a bugger to remove without breaking it unless you have a heat gun. I discovered this when I found a square light mk2 in my scrapyard years ago. I wanted the front end for spares for mine, but the lower part of the grille was cracked around the light and I couldn't for the life of me get the bonnet trim off. When I had mine resprayed I used a heatgun and it came off no problem.

Tempted to fit square lights to my other saloon even though I don't have the extension as it would hide the rust on the panel below the lights.

Their are never any VWs in my local scrappy, well bar the imported mk4 Golf the other month. But that was crushed in the same day Plus I've only seen one other mk2 Polo in my local area and that was a Derby

You should be tempted to sell me some square lights

I have a set of square lights. But they're spares man! Hate to crack one and have to resort to round lights. They fo commoners yo!

ill sell my lights and grille but I'm after gooooood money, drop me a pm if your feeling rich :)

hella do the squares new - but not cheap!

90 odd quid a side :(

Poverty spec round lights suck azzzzzzz

I'm only after a cheap set Saf, see how I like them on mine. Otherwise I would have them off you!!!

Again wouldnt mind a new set but 90 bucks a piece DAMNNNNNN

Good luck finding a 'cheap set'. All the Derby front end conversions I've seen go for between £90-£120!

Not exactly cheap when you can buy a twin-lamp grille and H4 lamps for around £40.
