Author Topic: 96-97 B4 (Mk3) Body kit? (Read 2575 times)

I'm a noob to this site, but a vet TDI'er and TDIclub member. My Brit Son-in-law told me about the site; he uses it for info about his IDI.

Anyway: I'm looking for body kit sources in NA. My wife put the car in a snow-filled ditch this winter and tore up the bumper covers, which gives me the opportunity to mod the car with the insurance money. I found stuff at Wings West, Deitrich, LL TEK and Strictly Foreign; I'm wondering if there might also be some additional sources, up in Canada maybe?

Any input would e greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

it will give your MK3 the look of a MK5 or audi with the front clip, :wink:

Sorry but the B4 and the Mk3 platform are two completely different platforms, body kits for one will not fit the other. If you are talking about a Golf-Jetta in 96-97, it's a Mk3, if you have a Passat, it's a B4.
