Today is the day I make good on last Friday’s promise of some more favourable front end swaps to balance out the more horrendous.

Front (and rear for that matter) swaps are always going to be somewhat controversial, and a matter of personal preference, so I have no doubt some of you are not going to agree with a few of these picks. As always feel free to express your opinions, or share ones I may have missed, in the comments below.

Start things off a little simple. VW front end swaps are often quite subtle, round light conversion here

  2. That Excursion is much more than a front end swap, it’s got a huge-power diesel (Cummins, I think), body drop and 24s with full steering ability at full drop.

    • @Phil yeah, I know it was a little bit more but for sake of this post I mentioned just the front. I spent awhile clicking through the build on layitlow

  3. i dig the taleighty (yeah just made that up) if it’s real that is.

    personally i really like a jetta front end on a golf, of any generation, better than the front it came with.
