not a straight swap. You need to buy 2.0l mounts and driveshafts but otherwise very straightforward!

But all you want are the Mk3 inner CV joints. Not the driveshafts.

I'm giving you help, there is a whole host of information on here, all you have to do is look for it rather than getting other people to look for you.
