    I was wondering if it were possible to swap the front end of a Jetta sportwagon to a Jetta S? I want a Getta, but obviously the golf front end isn't interchangeable with the etta as it was in the mk4's.

    Not without modification. Headlights, rad mounts, and a few connection points will need to be altered.

    Not easily. The MKVI JSW is basically a face-lifted MKV Golf front end (just like the MKVI Golf is). The MKVI Jetta is an entirely new body and very little interchanges with the Golf/JSW.

    Jesus H. Christ. No, it won't. Now go back to putting Honda badges on your Integra.

    You're an idiot...if you were even smart enough to look you would see I've never owned a honda you ignorant, *******. And Jettas and Golfs from the Mk4 and 5 generation can do that. It was a simple question no need to be so disrespectful. Stop acting like you are so much higher and smarter than people because you aren't.

    I mean, it really was a pretty dumb question. When you look at previous generations you can see that the front ends are super similar. Jetta to JSW is nowhere close. JSW and golf/gti stuff can be swapped because as you can see by using you eyes, they are very similar.
    Oh and you can make anything fit anything if you are awesome enough/rich

    I know you asking if a JSW front end will fit, but when you asked this question before but with a golf front end you caught alot of flack from it. Now you are getting mad when someone is giving you flack again. Why do you keep reposting stuff that you posted almost a year ago?

    people forget things...i forget that everyone on here is perfect nd knows everything huh?

    i just dont understand why everyone has to be so rude...so what people forget things and ask wuestions instead of being a dick about it just be cool abot it. theres no reason to be an *******...and if you are pissed that i posted something twice get over it because its not even a big deal.

    and its really not that obvious that they dont fit...i never knew jetta and golf front ends were interchangeble till a year or two after i got my mk4 golf so.....yeah

    No, he isn't. Go through his thread history. Every one of them is something stupid like this.

    And yes, he's done this before with the Golf front swap. Fucking retarded. (http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5510164-Getta)

    Oh, and this too: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...ystick-shifter....

    It was more a statement about how mad he was for getting called out, not a literal measurement of his time on the site.
