    New here! few questions thats all [:

    Hey guys i just bought myself a mk1 and unfortunately its the twin headlight model which i dislike, just wondering how much a single headlight grill and setup would roughly be ?
    Or if anyone would like to trade for the dual/twin headlight grill setup.
    The mk1 i bought is a 1979 model, do the shapes of the grills differ at all over the different year models?

    Cheers,

    Zale

    Not really i was going to get an s3 but ive decided to keep the mk3 and i have recently purchased a new head for it and am continuing with it. but this is just a project for fun that i can do and not be so anal about as with my vr6 i dont like going out to the farm because of the paintwork.. so this way i can still have fun but not care so much in the mean time, as well as learning a ****load more

    All MK1 grilles are the same, look about you will probably locate one for about $50 via eBay or the classifieds here. The existing lights and the outside edge trims remain the same on both styles.
