as far as i know they're all got the same mouting points/brackets although ive never taken mine off or or done it myself. i like the gt sport and r32 fronts the best

Yes this is possible. I've done it for a customer on a Jetta TFSI for a GTI front. Was around about $1000 worth of parts plus painting + Fitting, which you could do yourself....LVD

That's what I'm thinking too but want to be double sure before I start handing out the folding stuff..

Have been doing a bit of trawling on web and came across this R32 front. Am guessing freight cost would be a killer though

LowVeeDub..

Are any modifications required or is it as simple as take off Comfortline front and bolt on new front?

Forgot to mention to all in my first post that I'm a newbie here and look forward to sharing ideas and info on our great MK5/Jetta's.

I'm hearing you! I tried pricing a Jetta front bumper from the local dealer over the phone but the useless sod on the phone refused to tell me anything unless I had a VIN number as he claimed there were so many different versions of 2006 models, WTF?

[LowVeeDub]

No its not that simple, you need the support behind the bar as well from memory. The parts you would get from VW Australia/or me for that matter have all the necessary bits and bobs to fit it.. It was a while ago now i'd need to speak to my parts dept. to find the exact cost for you. PM me on monday if you like and i'll get you the info.

next time you get that answer tell them to walk over to their showroom and take the VIN off the display car.

But yeah the parts program is hard to look things up without a VIN

Looks like customer service is as bad here as it was in Townsville (just moved to Sydney)

How can you say that when i just offered to get you a price on Monday. Come on man customer service ain't bad every where you go. From what i hear in the dealer network Townsville sucks though. Any who if you want that price PM me monday. If not keep trying with the Sydney dealer who won't get back to you.....LVD

LVD.. Sorry mate, wasn't referring to you. My gripe was with Penrith dealer. Really appreciate you helping out!

id bet money that all the bars on all the mk5 are identical. although knowing vw they might still have given them different part numbers.
