Hi, good to hear that you're thinking of modding your car a little & keeping things subtle and oem always works best in my opinion :). The rear lights off a 9n3 fit fine, however the wiring needs a bit of altering... There's quite a bit about this on the forum if you search. The 9n3 gti grill unfortunately won't fit, it's a totally different shape. Hope this helps!

Most of the stuff in front of the front wheels won't fit, but behind that most parts are interchangable, but that's because they're mostly the same.. As above you can fit rear lights, most things in the interior such as the 3-spoke steering wheel should you wish (you'll need a new airbag), front and rear seats... Most Gti bits will fit such as the exhaust..

Optional extra VW bodykit is interchangable too, such as the Gti kit, 9n3 bluemotion kit and the OE Votex kit, such as side skirts, rear valance, roof spoiler, but in any case not the front lip as said before the front end is very different between 9n and 9n3.

That's all I can think of!

Oh and funnily enough the Sunglasses holder from the mk4 golf, that fits :P
