Or you can get a MKV bonnet with the undereath it, just find one the same colour save the hassel of filling and painting the existing one

Geezer have you actually done this??????, will they even spray up onto the windsreec from down there??
Cant afford a single wiper kit with all the things I have planned.
Suely the mkv bonnet is different anyway, and I have a new badboy bonnet that I will be doing it to so I wanna keep it....
Anybody else, have more detail bout this job
????

right il try n put my brains into this
i spose if you could angle the jets up in theory you should have no problem
need to pull them off and find a good angle n then try n keep em there

Yeah I dont see why if you didnt make the holes for them and if needs be fix them in place angled up toward windshield. Your prob best having a mess about with them like see what works but your gonna have the problem of filling and painting the original holes on your bonet.

the mk5 came with underbonnet jets, you could get some of those and fit them. But you are left with 2 holes in your bonnet to deal with....

the 6n bonnet is a single curve at the front whereas the 6n2 has different shapes to fit the bigger lights too, i think.

thats wot i meant dragon green
the 6n2 bonnet wraps around the headlight more than the 6n
il go sit in the corner and think about sayin things properly
