    Default Purchased 2 more heads, need opinions on mounting...

    For Christmas, I bought myself 2 more heads to convert my m20 to an m40 on my daily driver, I am still debating on where to mount the new heads on the front of my car, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, please note that mounting in the grill is not possible due to the radiator being too close

    Thanks in advance!

    mid grill slat next to head lights 8) i saw it done on the same generation gti no prblem...do you have an aftermarket radiator. If grill not possible I would mount a head center and then mount one head on the rear to detect rear laser traps :wink:

    Nice ride ( both of them, that is ) !

    Looks like you're no stranger to modifications - I'd even cut the grill if I had to, and mount as crazyVOLVOrob suggested.

    Might have been a golf or a vr6 gti, I looked today and there is no possible way to mount the heads there short of relocating the radiator

    I was thinking about moving the existing heads inwards and mounting the new heads in the outer lower grills

    If you could modify the grill put 2 to protect that area and 2 wider on the bottom center of the fog lights to protect the lights. Do something about the refective VW badge, maybe black it out. Nice ride.

    What's the distance, in inches, between the middle of each green circle and the top of the headlight? Also, the same question for the two inboard green circles, and the 12'o-clock position of your grill badge.
