does look great, looks like theres to much cutting etc involved for me tho

 

[MatejW]

It does look amazing :O

but to expensive

 

[lukey636]

but do u no how much work it is . is it just a replace or is it body work on doors and things thanks luke

 

[ibiza_95]

as far as i am aware youll need the following which all just bolt on bolt off so no chopping or cutting required:

Front crash bar
slam panel
wings
bonnett
headlights
bumper

Then just bolt it all togethe

As ibiza_95.i plan to to this to mine,every thing is a stright swap!

 

[h17och]

do mk3 mirrors bolt on the mk2 doors?

 

[MatejW]

Does regular ibiza mk3 and mk3 cupra has the same fenders and bonnett?

 

[markmeus]

Yeh wings and bonnet are the same, only difference is the front bumper as far as I know.

 

[Fl@pper]

Does regular ibiza mk3 and mk3 cupra has the same fenders and bonnett?

no !!! but they do bolt on the same way so it's effectively a bolt on conversion

iirc the only hassle was the towing eye needing chopping off and modify the radiator mounts dependant on model/engine

if you want a mk3 front you will need all mk3 front parts

wings
bonnet
bumper
lights
front panel

 

[markmeus]

Ohhh I read that as if the question was... "Are the wings and bumper on a mk3 non cupra the same as the ones on a mk3 cupra" Hence my answer.

But if you asking are the wings and bonnet of a mk3 cupra or non cupra the same as a mk2 then no they are not, as the headlights and grille and bumper are a different shape.

 

[Ecka]

didnt realise it was all as easy as that tbh, im shocked!

 

[Cupra Kid]

But why when you could sell the mk2 and pick up a mk3 for probably less money and hassle?

 

[lukey636]

my mk2 gti 2l 8v cost me 350 with all mods done then ran in to the back ov some 1 so think for the same money as buying mk2 bits buying mk3 bits
