    As the title says, Im looking at doing a gti front end swap on my jetta and rather than sourcing the parts individually I thought id see if someone wanted to swap first. My front end isnt in too bad of shape, would like something of same or better quality if possible. Ill gladly throw down if the swap is in better shape. Let me know. 510.three38.29four0

    These are just a few pics I had on my computer, there is a 1 1/4" scratch on the drivers side fender that cant be seen in the pics and isnt super noticeable anyway, and both fenders got a little messed up rolling them to make some clearance but can be fixed by the right person. You can see this in the last picture. There is also a rock chip in the hood thats about 3/8", but the front end also has a clear bra on it. These pics were taken 2 days ago, I can take more pics if needed just send me your cell#.

    I am down. Unfortunately I just had to cut some of my front bumper to fit the fmic. If you are cool with that we can do this. This is my 03 20th ae.

    Alright, yea sounds good. There are no major dents or scratches or anything on yours I assume? And will the stock grills still be able to fit or did you cut the tabs off? Hit me up and we can set up a time to do it. If possible I'd like to have get it done this weekend
    maybe. Let me know.

    Mine is not perfect. The bumper has some very light scratches around the headlights from a failed attempt at restoring the headlamps as well as a few scratches on the front of it. They may be able to be buffed out. Idk as I haven't tried. I don't think that the grill inserts would go back in again without glue or something. I do have all three of them though. Here are some pictures of it. Sorry its dirty, I'm at work and cant wash it right now. Fenders are clean. Overall it looks pretty clean when its all washed up.







    hood scratches















    I am a car salesman. I have to work the weekends until 9pm. I am off all day/night wed-thur of this week. I have a two car garage and plenty of tools. We could do some late night work if needed. I am located in South San Jose.

    lmk. BTW- Is your car BMP? or just Black?

    I was actually thinking that this afternoon when I replied to you.. mine isnt bmp so it might look a bit funny. and I work mon-fri 9-5ish. The only time I have off is weekends really. And being about 45min to an hr away from you makes it a bit hard, not to mention I work on cars all day so pulling a late week night is prob out of the question. I was hoping to get it done before the show on the 2nd. If not its cool though. Just really not sure how black and bmp would look, Im thinking not so hot..
