Just bonnets headlights and T bar from the front end will fit civic.

The bumpers corner lights and front wings are all different.

You can fit a Crx front end on a civic but you have to cut the bottom half of a civic wing off and weld it to the top half of a crx wing. Quite alot of hassle.

Polo is Low :shock:

i want the gl that low and it WILL happen. the polo used to beat the splitter on the ground constantly and most speed bumps were fine when you worked out a technique. when it was snowing i parked up next to a snowplough and my splitter was lower ;)
