6N2 body parts on 6n2 GTI

Post by catalins »

Hey guys,

So yeah, I've managed to crash my GTI & now I need to replace the bonnet, the right wing & the front bumper
Question is, would the parts from a normal 6N2 fit on my GTI ?

You can find 6N2 parts way cheaper and quicker that the GTI ones, hence the questions : will they actually fit ?
I have no doubts for the wing + the bonnet but would a regular 6n2 bumper nicely fit ?
I also know know that it lacks the headlights washers openings but hopefully I can manage to cut through it

Likewise, do you know if the lower spoiler from the GTI would fit, along with all the other the honeycomb grills ?
Did somebody else managed something like this ?

Sorry if this was discussed before, couldn't find any related threads

Cheers

Wing needs to be 16V GTI or TDI

Bonnets are all the same as are bumpers. Just need to cut the headlight washers out

Grilles will for no problem

You would need a 16v wing to fit the GTI, the wing is actually shorter at the bottom as the sill/side skirt is the full length of the car wheelbase on a GTI or 16v car.

The bonnet is the same as any 6n2.

The headlight washers are mounted to the slam panel behind the bumper. As you say, if you can cut a neat hole in a 6n2 bumper and fit the GTI front valance/splitter that's fine as is fitting the honeycomb grilles and fog lights.
