Default 2011 Jetta TDI sedan front end hit

Hit hard front left corner and I need to replace hood, drivers side fender, headlight, bumper assembly w/ cover, grill, radiator assembly, AC condenser etc. Engine runs, slight suspension damage- control arm bent. Car has very low miles and I want to fix it. Does the Sportwagen have the same front end pieces? Is there anything on the 2010 model that would fit? Anyone know a good source for these parts or a collision repair shop recommendation for the Raleigh, NC area? Thanks for any help.

The sportwagen uses a mix of unique to sportwagen front end pieces and some golf pieces. Neither will fit your 2011.

All the suspension part numbers are different so I wouldn't try it - they have different part numbers and it's a different chassis. I am sure that Sportwagen-Golf suspension are interchangeable even though the part numbers are different because the chassis is very similar.

With that much damage, I would use the insurance company. I doubt there are many 2011 in parts yards yet.

Default Thanks for input- another question

I neglected to ask if the non-TDI Jetta Sedans have similar body panels?
PS I am buying a rebuildable so there is no insurance coverage.

Yes, the non TDI Jetta sedans 2011+ use the same body.
