Hi mate,

Your local scrap yard is always a good place to start. Will be much cheaper than buying new and then having it sprayed to match your car. Could pick one up for £30 or so from a scrap yard.

Hope that helps,
Alan

No, the mk2 and mk2b have totally different headlights

ask around.. some body shops charge more then others..

I'm not really serious enough to shop around for quotes. I think it would just be good general information to know.

well you would be looking at around £150- 200 for a good spray... depending on were you go..

This is true but if you read the question, he asked if the front bumper off a three door would fit a five door. NOT if mk2b bumpers would fit a mk2:yum: Never mentioned a mk2b at all.

My question is what about back bumpers? I know they can't fit because of the body shape being different but can they be made to fit without too much effort?

WRONG....

and theres a lot of effort in modifiying the back bumper to make it fit.

more than its worth TBH.
