After arriving back to the car at the friendly local shopping centre, I found some less than careful fellow sydneysider, had the consideration to remodel the front of my car...and without so much as a note...and whilst this is a whole new post in itself, I am hoping that the forum has some contacts to the aftermarket grille section of the market, so rather than go broke buying a replacement VW standard front, i am hoping to start the journey of "dressing" things up a little (even though it has been forced upon me...so to speak)
