I can't see the pictures as im at work at the moment but I have a genuine Vag 4 lamp grill and I want a single if you want to swap just the inner part? I got hit by a deer and it smashed my single up so I had to throw this twin on for now.  What grill are you running atm mate?

Gutted, mines all bust up hence i need another.  does yours look like mine... looking for 5 bar style, think its the later cabby style.... if you find one you want, what would you want for yours?

[SoundillusioN]

That a bloody good effort! The whole lot going matt?

Thanks.... yeah this was just a test to see how well it went, i'm happy with it... yep gonna do whole car when ive finished the mechanics!

Shame as we could of saved ourselfs a few quid there!

yeah i know... is a shame, thanks for the idea though.. its hard to find what you want unless its a cheap looking debadged jobbie which i don't want!  Only just found what i'm after on the bay and its not far so hope i win it!  are you looking for a single lamp of the same style you have?

[Lee_dub]

yes mate literally just a 2 lamp badged standard grill.

Oh btw your painting skills look good! why are you spraying it matt black? just cos you can't afford the the proper job yet? 

I need to do my bonnet and wing but it will end up looking gash    Ill have to pay for a proper spray

Its satin!!!  Thanks.... yep money is something I havent got to spend on this  the paint was mint once but bad storage took its toll and with new panels too I had no choice... Good thing though is at the same time i am getting rid of every little ding and scuff she has so hopefully will be staight as feck when finished.

Sorted a couple of things out:

Managed to get to the bottom of my last gauge that wasnt working (water temp).. wrong sender connected! So now bar wiring up the front lights the full rewire has worked!.. Think my MFA is toast though.  Thanks again to those that helped when i got stuck especially rubjonny.. I owe you beers at least! 

Think i've got myself a tidy bonnet to pick up soon and a front bumper, found the grille i want on the bay too so hopefully i'll win that!... Just need an N/S wing.

getting there..................

Drove the cab into work tonight I haven't enjoyed sitting in the traffic on the M25 so much for ages!
Now looking forward to the drive home after the nightshift

Makes it all worthwhile...............Happy days.
