basically all you need is the body parts, hood, fenders, bumper, grill, and headlights.. thats it..

but i would advise against the change, you will be satisfied with it at 1st but you will eventually want to go back, and its really hard to get somebody to switch back with you...
plus it looks horride

if you read that was my car 2 yrs ago, and i changed it back 3 months after i did it..
it makes the car look a little more agressive, but the golf is to round for the jettas square head lights, imo..
idk i would say dont do it, but its your car..
