Ive just picked up a vrs with a bump on its nose, looking to replace at least one headlight and wanted to know if you can downgrade the headlights to standard mk3 headlights? as these are easier to source . Not fussed about any loss of performance as ive used halogen so far in other cars and its been fine for me.

Also Im looking to replace the bumper Ideally with one in same colour to avoid spraying, I can source one locally from a 2017 plate looks similar to VRS but is possibly a sport model???

Anyone know if the 2017 bumper will fit?

 

OH and finally noticed the rad has a broken plastic connector which looks removable, are these available/replacable or would this do and come with this plastic elbow thats broke???

I cant help with the bumper/rad but with the headlight you'd have to do a pair even if you could do it. I would imagine the plugs would be different and you'll have errors for motors/headlight levelling without coding. 

 

Synetiq on eBay have a fair few Octavia's in for breaking.

Thanks 4 reply, finding prices for vrs lights and bumpers v expensive and thin on ground compared with standard

 

anyone tried fitting mk2 rad pack in a mk3?

 

if not direct fit wondering if the cores can be transplanted as mk2 much cheaper on the Bay  also notice mk2 rad pack is twin fan so surely better?

dont mind doing a bit of fettling/ fabrication
