I'd hazard a guess at Mk1 Golf GTI, maybe mk2 G60 ones with the fronts on the rear and vice versa.

Saying that, they could be metal, in which case I don't know.

Long time no update but on the 11/11 at 3.20pm, whilst less than 200 yards from my home I met up with a Kawasaki Mule and trailer which pulled out on me! First thought was, this is going to be messy! So Van has sat on my drive since then looking very sad!

Pulling out from a farm track, then tried to put his foot down to get out of my way. Too slow to do so and just succeded in blocking the whole road.
Hardly likely that he was going to be able to ge out of the way when the Kawasaki is restricted to 25 mph.
I am going to fix it and it will be better than before as it will have a whole brand new front end on it.

You've got me thinking now! How difficult? Are the inner wings on the tigra the same? That conversion has to be a must!

Do a search on here for it and you will that it's not. Tigra wings need to be welded to Corsa wings and the inner wing needs modifying. The rest is easy new front panel and the rest is bolt on.

I am so tempted to do this to mine, already have the black headlights but GSI bumper and spraying my alloys White/black is something for the spring. Bonnet looks smart too. Also M3 mirrors look ok on combo's, which is a suprise as i normally hate them.
