They must be relatively the same size because someone posted a pic on here ages ago of a Mk2 with a complete Mk3 front end - looked quite nice. I seem to remember it was only the wings that needed modifying to fit, the bonnet was probably a straight swap (apart from needing to swap headlights/grille at the same time of course) :)

The wings have to moved outwards as the bonnet is wider and the,then the scuttle panel doesnt fit and you have to remove the safety catch from the bonnet which isnt a good idea as i found out to my own cost! the bonnet came up and went through the screen at 70mph xxit the life out of me.. :D
