HI, IVE GOT A STANDARD 1.4 MK5 GOLF, I WAS JUST WONDERING IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO CONVERT THE FRONT SO THAT IT LOOKS LIKE A GTI ? AND ALSO HOW I WOULD GO ABOUT DOING THAT?

Hi, yeah its possible, I have done the conversion, and also have all the parts for sale.

You need a lot tbh:

Front GT/GTI/Jetta front panel
Upper and lower bumper members (bars)
GTI Bumper guides
Bumper
Lower bumper/splitter
Front grille
fog griles
centre grille

all parts for VW work out at around £1000 plus painting.

Better not be GTI badges on that.

I have to agree. dont badge it as a GTI :(

I had an old style GT TDI 140, so just updated it a bit.

The quality is poor on the one I saw.

and still needs £150 spent on spraying, which only make its £100 less, but not genuine. :S
