just in case anybody wants to "upgrade" to a mk6 then i have a very easy solution. (and cheaper)
wait for the mk6 gti to come out, then go to your local parts department and buy the front bumper, front lights, grill, bonnet and wings, then simply bolt them on and you will have a golf mk5.5. front is a mk6 and back being the much better mk5, :rolleyes: :rolleyes: i think it would work!! :tongue:

:grin:

LOL, i thought this, probably the same car underneath

Cut a square out of your grannies tartan travel rug and sellotape it to your front seats.
Instant Mk6 interior.
-
bet blue peter will be doing one shortly!
"and heres one i prepared earlier!" :grin:
-
I'll keep my "better resolved" MKV front :wink:
-
Sounds like a plan :grin:
-
LOL, i thought this, probably the same car underneath
It IS the same car underneath. Identical floopan/chassis, identical firewall, identical front subframe and suspension (apart from the electric gubbins), identical rear subframe and suspension. :nerd:
Which is why I stated in an earlier thread that it isn't actually a Mk"6" at all, just a Mk"5.5". :wink:

so this actually would work?? :laugh:

One of the car mags stated that the dash has exactly the same mounting points so you could stick that in too.

i wonder what the trade price would be on an 05 GTI mk6, if somebody were to do this :grin: :grin:
-
The mk6 is the mk5 on a cost cutting money exercise ! also it looks ugly ! :smiley:

Maybe, but the remainder of the bodyshell has been revised, so they might not line up, and I reckon the inner wings and front longitudinal members will be modified to take the new engine.

And how would the "mags" know that? Only serious engineering journals would know about stuff like that! :rolleyes:

"Guide" is the appropriate word to consider, :wink: and in todays' economic climate, I stronly suggest that all the figures in Glasses and the likes will have taken a serious dip. :cry:

Nope.. I like it too. Think the interior is much improved (looks wise) and the subtle styling is just my cuppa!
T_T will the 3.2 lump still fit in the MK6??? I am guessing it will....
-
It will but i am sure i read that VW will drop the 3.2 unit due to emissions reasons !
the 3.6 Porsche/VW unit willl be a direct replacement i think ??
failing that the I5 TT 2.5 Audi/vw developed unit.
