Mike_M Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Its not economically achievable as everything is different on the GTI (it does not share any panel with the non GTI)Lots of threads in the search ^^^ on this where people have asked Where your indicator are........these are side lights and high beams on the GTI and the light unit is larger and a similar story with the main head light where they are organised differently so rewireing would be needed.You need GTI wings to match the bumber as it is all wider and so on.

Mike_M Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) You can get some after market kits that kind of look like a GTI, but I would just get a GTIWould work out cheaper in the end, by the time the kit is fitted, painted and then everything declared on insurance Edited March 16, 2011 by Mike_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy_Stu Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 i used to work for vw the only bit you can change from a non GTi is the lower bumper unless you wanna strat cutting n shuttin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipwell Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 This has been done quite a few times on Lupo's in Germany. Personally, if you have got a fair amount of money to spend and have the time to do it, it can be pulled off pretty well. But in the end it would probably be cheaper just to get a GTI, as they are getting cheaper and cheaper.Here is the best one I have seen.. Lupo GTD, SDI in Adriatic blue, with a GTI facelift. I think he is upgrading it to a 1.9 PD TDI now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
