Title: 96-97 B4 (Mk3) Body kit?
Post by: Dieselgrandad on March 21, 2009, 02:23:41 pm

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.

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.
