[Tjaap]

most of us know the Chinese Jetta's and all their cool little parts that are so impossible to get...

now guess what.. there's yet ANOTHER faclift... check these pics i got from Cullen.

lots of new bodyparts, but it still def is a Jetta..
not sure about the trunk, but i def love the rear bumper....

[Tjaap]

oh yeh, notice the previous Jetta King, in the background of some of the pics

[Lennart]

hm about the same thing they did to the Citi-Golf.. olny a little more futuristic :D

[vwleusden]

I want the dash :)

[Volkswouter]

Noticed the later style corrado dashboard in the polo.

I don`t find it a beauty!

[Beetlefreak]

Hmmm. What kinda Passat/Vento/Santana/Jetta car is this...

Don't like it, but for Tjaap's Jetta there are a few nice details :D

[PerL]

I like it! I like it even more than the Santana 3000! :cool:

[RedJet]

I want that rear bumper!!

[Chrispy]

are there pics of the previous jetta's, like the ones parked outside?

[Pedaalemmer]

i`ve got a sexy red x on tjaaps post....?

[Lennart]

nope they still work..

nice boot on the passat look-a-like jetta :D

[Dreadz@EVDTuning]

I like the look of it (well minus the front). I wouldnt mind getting the interior for my Jetta. The rims on the new King are kinda hot too. Shouldnt the dash be a direct swap?


-Dreadz

[Skooty]

the front looks just like a Saab... trunk could have been a bit shorter in my opinion, rear lights also look kinda cheap (= asian, would expect them on a Kia or something) I think, so: me not like :P
Although the dash looks ok

[Chrispy]

http://198.69.145.243/pictures/2/DSC06360.JPG
now these are nice lightunits, and that lid, should fit directly on your car Dutchy.

[Pedaalemmer]

i don`t get it....is this an orginal facelift from the volkswagen factory?..why are they restyling an old jettta...is missed something i geuss....

[Tjaap]

nah i don't like those light-units.. i do like the centerplate. but they only work with the lights :(

[Tjaap]

well Henk, yes they still make the Jetta in China... and why not? thy have all the molds so it's cheap to fabricate. just like they still make the mk1 in south africa and the beetle (up untill last year) in Mexico

[Pedaalemmer]

*crowls underneeth his rock*

so...when can we buy parts from these cars:D:D

what are the sale ratings on these cars? and does anybody speeks chinese?:D

[Tjaap]

Eurocullen sells most of the stuff... but most works with groupbuys, because he needs to buy big from china...

[david_h]

VW sold the rights to old models and the plans to a chinese company who are now re-producing them.

Be warned, the parts will never be up to VW quality, they are produced by a completely different company!

[Pedaalemmer]

if it`s not from volkswagen, they can keep it in china... :biggrin:

[VolkswagenRacing]

Interior is cool,
And I like the mirrors :P

[Tjaap]

according to Cullen the mirrors do not swap out..

There is a Golf 5 in the Norwegian VW-Audi club who has this badge on the rear end. Kinda cool, I think.

[Tjaap]

yeh, Cullen sells the badges too... they were all over w-see last year.. kinda played already

[DÁ-BRT]

Hmmm strange but nice....

I wonder if it is possible to export the front fenders, motorhood, front and rear bumper...?

[VWMAN]

i like citi golf and and like this also....

[Tjaap]

guess what... another update

[breadfan83]

Oh, they shouldn't have.... no really.... :sly:

[Tjaap]

i don't mind the mk6look front, but the rear is terrible... looks almost home-made..

[Tjaap]

The tooling was shipped over from the USA in 1988 or 89, as mentioned. They started building stock lookalikes in 1991 (same year the Mk3 came out in Europe).

The Jetta King with the B4 Passat front end came out in 1995 ( a year after the B4's debut in Europe). It used the same Mk2 body with different bumpers, fenders, and a front end tacked on. Tail lights were slightly different but swappable. Dashboard was a modified Corrado unit. Basically all superficial mods.

(you can see the rear at the top of the pic too)

In 2004 the new Jetta King came out (I think this is the same year they discontinued the basic Jetta model which was still being made). The new King had different basic frame stampings to accommodate China-specific things (like the tail lights, seals, etc).

[Mitta]

I like the dashboard and the doorcards, only the steeringwheel is a little ugly...

[Dutch_Jetta_GT]

Am i the only one who appreciates the chinese Jetta's?....

I like the current front end, makes a good old car going further in a fresh shape, rear is a bit to think about, but still, not very fugly,..

I don't mind receiving 1 for free to sit on my driveway.....

[Tjaap]

same here, love the new front.. hate the rear

[J.v.G]

same here.. and kinda love the interieur.. :D

[DÁ-BRT]

I travel a lot to China for work. Have been to the VW Shanghai factory about 1.5 years ago.

Trust me every part is made in China. All the Santana's are with a complete plastic interior instead of cloth.

I made some pictures of the cars I saw there. Going again in a couple of weeks and make some more pictures.

[Tjaap]

fill up a container with front ends and interiors ;)

[DÁ-BRT]

I've been thinking about that, but it doesn't seem to be paying of. There is no official approval sign in the headlights (E...) next to the fact that a lot of the parts are taking much space.

In a couple of months I will have the production in China started up, then it is possible to have a look at the space left in the containers we are sending to NL.

Transportation takes between 5 and 6 weeks.
