    Default could a vy/vz boot go on vt/vx???

    More curious then actually interested in doing this,
    but could a vy/vz boot go on a vt/vx?
    I know the shape of the boots are different but would the boot still seal shut,
    I would be interesting to see what it looked like... all opinions welcome...

    Why don't you put a Volkswagen Beetle Bonnet on while your at it?

    Sorry to kill your idea but what on earth made you think that a square boot would look good on a bulbous shaped car with very 'round' lines...

    i know changing boots won't look good. i was more interested to whether it would actually change over and still function as a boot.

    You could make it fit...you can make anything fit...but will it be appropriate? Will it look good? I think not.

    I don't care what it look's like or whether it will be appropriate I was just wondering
    if it would fit/function normally being that the vy/vz is basically structurally the same as the vt/vx.
    I don't have access or am familiar with vy/vz boot otherwise I wouldn't have asked.
    (I'm just thinking outside the square)

    Direct swap over? I have serious doubts, due to the angles and general shape.

    If you want a lip spoiler, look for a VT HBD spoiler or VT Manta.

    EDIT. I have a VZ. Dad has a VT. Realisitcally it won't fit properly or seal correctly

    To answer the OP's question, I think it should fit since the shells of the car are the same. Only problem i can see you hacing is that you might actually hit the rear quarter panels. Ive seen somebody put a VZ boot on a VT, and replace the quarter panels with VZ ones and it worked. No idea on how much they had to modify.

    if you know somebody with a VY/VZ, put cars together, pop boots and compare. They should be the same.
