So is VW planning on releasing a actual Rabbit TDI?

So how tough was it? "Plug and Play" or "Plug and Pray?"

it was a little of both I should of got a rabbit front bumper foam instead of cutting mine down. I still need to replace the fender liners and need to add four little brackets under the grill but the bumper skin was an easy fit. I should have the parts for the foglights next week. all in all I like the way it came out

Looks so much better than the chrome,IMHO. Are you listening VW? Looking forward to the Rabbit TDI in the 2008 M.Y. Make mine a 2dr with DSG please.

Good job, looks great!
I'm a fan of the chrome "smile" on the front, but to each her own...

Looks good and to me it has a little bit of an upgraded A4 feel to it. Interesting transformation.

I think it just makes it look more like a Corolla

looks good, i dont like crome either. crome makes me feel like some primitive animal that snatches up anything shiny.

I liked the chrome look, but your conversion makes it feel more like a classic Jetta. I like it. Definitely stands out against the other Jettas. I think VW should offer it that way on cheaper, stripped down models. Or simply give you the option no matter the trim level.
Either way, nicely done.

If you want a brushed Alum. look, try sanding the chrome. Start with 100 grit lightly, and then a 320 grit to finish it. I did mine and it turned out great. Did the VW badges front and rear aswell, and de-badged the Jetta and TDI on the rear.jlcunlimited said:

I think it looks pretty good. I just get my rabbit fix by looking at my wifes new '07. After having to have to look at her's occasionaly I like the look of my Jetta that much more.
