Aaaa, you will have a Golf.....
But seriously, just like with any conversion from another car, you will have to do some bodywork. I think Golf IV headlights are too vertical for the slope of the ones on our car, so they will not be the best fit. Miata 2nd Gen would be a better choice if you gotta chop metal bits anyway.

it's been done before, there was an old post about someone seeing one driving past them with the conversion. But yes some major modding will be required

liek taras said..I don't think it'll look good with the slope of our hoods and the headlights

I don't think it looks right at all. It's not an easy task to take headlights off of a very boxy car and try to make them look proper on an mx3. I wish them luck with that one.

guys if you copy and past those links into the browser it works... and may i say wow.. that looks a lot better than i thought... to be honest i'm thinking they look better than the civic ones...

they're not too terrible, still look odd and i think the civic's will look better for my tastes at least. i'd say go for it, it'll be a rare mod and may look nice for you.
