If your looking for a straight swap 16v bumpers are your best bet... however,

You can fit the front end of a 6n2 gti to a 6n but everything needs to be changed, crash bar, radiator, wings, headlights, indicators etc... it's quite a job!

The 6n2 rear won't fit 6n at all without a lot of modification because the body shape is slightly different at the back and it's different where the bumpers meet with the arches.

Best bet is 16v bumpers :)

Or you could cut the top half of a 6n2 bumper and join it 2 the top half of a 6n bumper

6ns ended b4 2000 so you would need pre 2000 bumpers 6n not 6n2
