Look at the boot this is also different. From a conversion I have seen before you also require an angle grider to cut some metal away to fit new lights. Also I believe the black bit that hold lights rad etc on is also different.

I gather for the front end conversion you need:

Pair of front wings
Bonnet
Bumper
Lights
Front crash bar (different on 9n to 9n3, piece of metal behind bumper)

Been qouted approx £700 for sourcing parts, not including having them sprayed if you can't find a colour match. So most people just buy a 9n3 lol.

Good luck though!

I was planning on doing it, bought the parts of an online parts company and he took all the money and didn't send me any parts! So I just went out and bought a 1.9tdi 9N3! much easier! And there are more hidden parts you have to worry about that do not match!

Of a 9N3 front end? Sure, not completely factory but gives you an idea mate. This photo has GTi headlamps as well, whereas the standard ones are silver.

On a side note, those look like pattern parts. Might be worth doing a bit of digging to find the quality of them, or find a 9N3 being broken for parts instead.
