No there's an idea Rob... you could start something! I have a set of Standard GTI Tail Lights I can sell you for your R! You can be the Cool Kid on the block with the "Retro" Halogen lights...

... problem is, you'll probably feel like a fraud and spend most of your time wishing you actually had a GTI! :-(

Yeh I'll have to jack up the suspension too. I will also end up with a tail shaft that I will no longer need. Anyone selling their tartan seats?

Hope you have good eyesight and nimble fingers.. going to take a while.. but as a trendsetter you have to set the bench mark high for retro stardom
