Lets start at the front panel
There is 2 brackets that hold the headlights these are the ones closest to the grille, they need removing.
Then there is 2 bonnet supporting brackets in a v shape, they need to go aswell they are either side of the grille.
The wings can be kept but there is a lip inside the indicator housing on the mk5 wings that the mk6 doesnt have. Away round the problem is screwing the indicators to the headlights.
Then its a case of swapping the bonnet, headlights and bumper and grille over, there maybe a few things iv missed but thats most of it.
