justinv 4 1 Cars Posted January 10, 2007 Hi, we are converting a 1.4 xs to a 1.6 gti besides the rear mudguards, engine loom,suspension, are there any other major changes ? > Are the front and rear bumpers the same ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurboSam 5 Posted January 10, 2007 Front bumpers are the same, rears are different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justinv 4 1 Cars Posted January 11, 2007 Is it just the bumper that it isnt d same or even the valance ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ren 0 Posted January 11, 2007 I'm not 100% but i would have thought it would be just the bumper as it won't have the holes in the side for the rear arch trim to connect through. The valance should be the same. Can anyone confirm this? Ren Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t16ryan 1 Posted January 11, 2007 rear valance is different to a GTi and as said its just the hole in the bumper for the arch trim thats different IIRC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 75 Posted January 11, 2007 to be honest id just tidy the XS up and sell it to buy a gti. You probably didnt waant to hear it but...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danpug 1 Posted January 11, 2007 Have you considered putting the TU 1.6 8v in instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted January 11, 2007 XU subframe. Assume its a late xs with XU mounts on the shell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

calvinhorse 870 Posted January 17, 2007 i thought the front arches and front bumper where wider on a gti so different arches bumper and valance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
