Title: GTI front end
Post by: Ben Smith on May 06, 2012, 12:21:51 pm

So I have just bought a 5 door 05 gttdi off my sister. Haven't picked it up yet but the car has been regularly serviced but cosmetically needs a good tidy up. So 1st plan is a good clean followed by a face lift.

I really like the gti honeycomb front with the red stripe but what is the easiest way to achieve this? Is it complete bumper and grills or is there a conversion kit at all? Also which makes are good quality?

Many thanks and if you have any other idea on how to freshen the old diesel up, please let me know, complete newbie!


Ben.

Welcome to the forum,Personally i would only buy oem parts. There are plenty on ebay. You would need bumper, grille and front panel . Good luck with the search.

Ive posted up a how to fit the GTI front end, involes cuting a little bit of the bumper (you dont see it once its all fitted) very easy to do should take about 2 hours to fit the whole lot :happy2:

as above buy OEM
