Any VW Service Guys out there or experienced shop guys who know if the Turbo S front is a direct bolt on swap to the "older" Turbo 1.8T? Same mounting points etc? How bout the "extra" smaller turn signals next to the headlights? Got part numbers for all sets of lights? The local VW dealer's parts department was not helpful at all, could not or would not get me a listing of all necessary parts, except the front bumber cover which was somewhere around $500. Will hopefully be doing major performance upgrades soon and would like the Turbo S front end on my Reflex Project. Also...can the newer center console with the sliding cupholder be exchanged for the older one as well?...tired of that cup holder digging into my calve!!!! Help anyone? Thanks in advance.

Re: Turbo S Front Bumper Cover Swap (The Vee Dub-igo's)

there has been extensive discussion on this over at newbeetle.org, (go check it out

) along with some of the part numbers needed and prices. I considered it myself, but decided not. I may get the Turbo S rear tho

As far as I know, no one has done it yet.

Thanks Chris...just searched what was there and confirmed some numbers I had gotten, but still no pn's for the lights, and wondering about the hardware. But a good start. Have to walk in the dealer with everything spelled out. They are NOT eager!!!

What part numbers do you need?? I can provide them to you if you would like.
Email me a request, and I would be more than happy to help out.
