Going from Gti front to R32 or Jetta...

[K9]

whats involved when changing from gti front to jetta or r32? to jetta will all grills only be replaced or the whole bumper?

[Andy]

Think the bumper on the gti is different to the jetta

[K9]

Can someone confirm that?

only the jetta and gt grills for the jetta gt bumpers. They will not fit the gti so you'll have to source these if replacing th jumper.

I friend of me working in VW selling parts told me that GT and Gti bumpers are the same. That GT fog grills will fit the Gti bumper and the mid selection from a jetta bumper, the chrom part

[Andy]

I thought the gti/gt are the same bumper and the grills etc will swap over...The r32/jetta bumper is different but the best way is to check if the gti and jetta  bumper are the same part numbers

I thought you wanted the jetta or r32 bumper so what's that got to do with the gt bumper?.
if your replacing the bumper for the jetta for example you'll need new grills to match as there are grooves in the jetta bumper for the fog grills as they are slightly extended. I've looked into this ages ago.

Like @r5gtt said, the Jetta bumper fog grilles are different (they are longer across the top. These grilles can be cut and chopped to fit a GTI bumper but it'll never look right.
Can't say much about the R32 bumper, I assumed it was completely different due to the bulbous front grille but I could be wrong.
