That's a "LESTER"frontbumper s2 and s3 wings are interchangeable, only difference is the sidelightposition, i solved that problem with s3 sidetrim front to end( i don't know the english word for it  )
take a look at my green s2, that has s3 wings on it on my purple s2 i welded the opening for the sidelight, and cut another one to be able to fit the s3 sidetrim (still don't know the english word  )
bumperbracket is not attached to the wing, so no problems here also |

Found another, not sure if the colour makes a difference, but it looks better. Maybe the wheel arch covers make a difference

I bought my 33 for the same reason to stop putting so many miles on my 155, especially now i have to drive to work instead of cycle. |

 I like to see a car and play spot the changes, instead of, meeeh, another boring standard "whatever car", makes life interesting.

The series 3 with the big veloce bumper is off a 75 which has been shortened, ah motorsport sell this for the s3 , and bls automotive used to race the orange s3 with the s2 front end, I spoke to bls several years ago and the hassle of fitting it was intensive to do  . |

| Well I just worked out what the highest post count reward is.
It's not a 16 Valve.. It's not a P4... Its a S3 cabriolet with a S2 front clip, powered by a V6 with twin turbo's with 18inch Bling wheels and painted in colour change orange metallic paint. And Bobbber's gonna get there first.  |

| I think it would look better with the ser 2 side skirts. The ser 3 bumper stops a lot higher and the line flows with the ser 3 side skirt. The ser 2 veloce bumpers sit much lower but married with the ser 2 side skirts they may compliment each other. | |

I have always toyed with the idea of veloce bumpers on a series 3, but after seeing a pic of a series 3 with large bumpers, where the splitter almost touched the floor, it kind of stuck out. I too prefer the ser 2 look, but good ones are hard to come buy and lack a little power to the 16v, so yes a hybrid would be good. Here’s a couple of pics but it still has the ser 3 lights ect, not found any pics of a front end conversion.
I have seen a sud with veloce bumpers, that looked mean. |

| Hi,
i didn't believe it until i tested it...wings from series 2 and 3 can be exchanged, the main difference is the front bumper attachment...but this part is hidden behind the front bumper so it's easy to build a bracket of your own. regards, zp |

| Isn't the series 3 radiator mounted further forward to make room for the power steering? This would probably give you some trouble trying to fit a series 2 front over it. | |

| I really want a series 2, but they seem a bit rarer than the series 3 which seem a bit more available, so I was thinkin of merging the two to get the best of both worlds (i.e. 16v engine, stiffer front rails and better rear wheel control..with the older classic look)
Guess its a bigger job than I thought... 
Thanks for the info |

| Hi
I have a feeling that the wings are very similar (possible the cutout for the side repeaters is different). Main difference is the lights, bonnet, bumper and grill. All the best Keith |

| Hi Funkin
They're different. The indicators on the side are on a different place (that's not too bad as you could fill and drill) - but the major problem is the very front where the light configuration is different. You'd have to shear some metal off and weld some new in. I don't think it's worth it.
BLIMEY... Just buy the Series you prefer in the first place!
If you want a source of body panels (if you like new ones that is) : www.beeversautopanels.co.uk Welcome to the forum, Bob |

|
| Are the wings on the series 2 and 3 the same?
How easy is it to put a series 2 front end on a series 3? Assuming the parts are availabe is it just a bolt on job or are there differences in front subframe mountings etc? Sorry if its been asked before... |
