    Can you compare MKV projector fogs to MKVI fogs? How much fab work would be needed to make the projectors fit?

    Not sure of everything needed, but obviously the bumper is different, along with all the grilles.

    Hi,

    MK6 GLI side skirts require me to use 5 self tapping screws for installation. What length screws does vw recommend? Are these screws generic or is their a VW part number for them?

    You can order straight from keffer VW once you have the part number. 90 us dollars per side originally but you will get a discount.

    What parts would I need to change my rear bumper to the GLI rear bumper? Will I need a new absorber and all those other little parts, or will I just need the bumper cover and the little valence for the exhaust?

    I am not sure but I think if you do a search you may come across a thread covering this conversion. I suspect you may need all the little bits though.

    Really? The only difference is the shape of the lights, they will fit in the same space in the grill cutouts but with a gap.
    I plan on doing the install as soon as I can get my hands on a set. looking to spend no more than $80 for a new set since I've seen them sell for that before but cant find the site I had seen them on...

    They show parts in the picture but do not list a part number. I assume they attach the same as the MKV. If they do, you would need four adapters and eight screws. The part number for that screw is N-103-546-02 and is 5X16.

    The GLI Skirts only attach with 3 or 4 pre-installed plastic clips that push into the body-plug holes under the car and 2-sided taped to the rocker (tape is pre-installed). Be sure when you are installing the clips that they go in wicked-straight or you will risk damaging part of the bracket.

    I see the plastic clips along the skirt but if you look on the inside of the skirt you will see 5 pieces of plastic molding reinforced with metal. These moldings are supposed to be hooked into the self tapping screws. the screws are to be placed at spcific dimensions alongside the Jetta's rocker. VW provides these specific measurements so that when the skirt is put on the clips you mention align with body plug holes you speak of. That's one to avoid risking damage to the bracket. The screws also serve as support.

    I got the same instructions you are seeing with the GLI sideskirts. The document shows a mk5 jetta however when I checked VW's own software repair catalog the up to date instructions are VERY different and rightly show the need for 5 screws WITHOUT touching those in the wheel well liner. I have no clue why VW supplies the dated instructions with the GLI side skirts as you don't need primer or glue either for their installation.

    Thanks for the part number. It's given me an idea of what dimensions I should be looking at

    I know the grills are different, as is some of the wiring. I meant the actual fog light itself. Just a quick side-by-side comparison. I tried to get my parts guy at the dealership here and he had no idea what projectors were...

    I know they have the kits, but only for reflectors.

    i dont think that trim piece is sold separately all i see is with the switches attached.

    Clips: 7L6868243

    Also for the trim they are going to need to know more about the car like model and bulid date. if you check the side panel on the left or right side of the dash look for a sticker on it with a date code like 10/11 or something similar.

    I didn't see any sort of sticker with a date code, but it's a 2012 Jetta SEL, black interior. I can supply the VIN if necessary.

    I need part numbers (and info) for the following items:

    GLi (2012) front bumper:

    Gli (2012) lower mesh insert:

    Gli (2012) mesh grill:

    Gli (2012) fog lights:

    Assuming this all fits over the standard Jetta Reo bar etc. Also I might need part numbers on any screws / adaptors / plugs etc. that are needed to fir this that I might not already have from pulling off my factory bumper (also will need install instructions)

    How much would it cost to buy a 2013 spec backup camera and have it installed? Also, same with xenon headlights and esc off switch - to buy them and have them installed total.
