everything is a direct swap. it would be the exact same if you took your front end off and put it back on.

4 bolts for the hood plus the clip for the hood strut.
about 4 bolts on top of the fenders. and about 4 in the wheel wells.
front grill pops out
bumper is 3 in middle 2 in grills 2 on top and about 3 each side for the fender liners.
prolly 7 or 8 screws on the fender liner.
also there is a bolt at the base of the fender that ataches to the unibody or you could call it the outer firewall area that will be covered with sound deading material and you wont see it directly. it will be a clump of that stuff covering it. take a flat head and scrape off all that stuff so you can get your socket on there.

i believe all the bolts are a 10mm and all the big screw bolts are t25 and the smaller screws are t20.

also make sure you disconnect your windshield washer hose. the little black grommets just pop out with a flat head.

4 t25 (i think t25 if not then t20) screws on each headlight.... make sure you push on the top of the headlight when installing it or it will be pointed at the ground.

the light harness clip will plug directly into your new lights except it will be upside down.

the fog function is different from the golf and jettas.

oh yeah.... on the grills... the jetta grill support has a little notch in the center so it interfears with the golf grill. just trim the golf grill with a dremel to make it sit flush. like 2 min. tops.

and the fender liners are different. and all the holes in them will not match. just use what you can and call it a day.

i think thats everything. if you need anything else let me know.

ps: make sure you take out your side markers and indicators.

 

thanks alot man. I plan on doing this swap as soon as I can find some one with a silver jetta front end that wants to do this swap? where are you located incase I needed some help doing the swap.

 

I got 2005 GTI headlights and Tail lights both for $300 obo make me a offer need gone asap..
