Nope not a flip front and the grill is attached with self tappers all the way around, I can't stand the sight of grill buttons!

does a mk1 grill fit in a mk3 front panel????

[yeti21586]

Yep

Yep

does it slightly overhang at the sides or does it fit inside the mk3 grill space completely. they look like slightly different shapes and don't want to buy a bonnet without the flange on the front if i can't get the mk1 bumper to fit..

i am not very skilled so if it hard i may have to pay someone to sort it for me..

I'm putting one on mine, You don't need to buy a new bonnet, You just need to drill out the spotwelds on the bonnet lip.
