you don't need to change the front panel but there is alot of modding to the front bumper if you dont,  the gti front panel has the tow hook in a different place to the normal Golf so its just a big issue if you break down and don't change the panel, all other panels off the gti are just the same has the normal golf.

I think the front area where the crash bar goes is different aswell but not by much there is a couple of how-2 to fitting the gti bumper without the panel.
