Yeah late style mk1 cabby grille, just need to shave some clips off etc to make it fit. its what I had on before the smash so had to find a replacement and wasn't too hard to find on ebay..  I paid £10 for gen VW one without lights.

You will see it (all being well) although I'm nervous of you seeing it up close  :grin: I best get my ar5e in gear and get it as nice as I can for then!  not much time left!

There's an offer that can be arranged, sure my missus would hate the idea though.  :laugh:

If you're lucky you'll get a chrome badge with it as most of the ones i found did, if not you can have the one that came with mine.  :wink:

Only just road worthy  :grin:  exhaust is in need of love and so is the engine, but i see your point.  not driven it for weeks now.  :cry:

Hmmm, that might be difficult.  :sad: not sure they did a 5 bar single light grille, also might be quite hard to find a badged single grille full stop, old style oem grilles can be expensive, last time i looked for an oem gti one it was over a tonne.  (mind you it did have a chrome surround and surrounds are expensive, hence why mine is painted)

okay so im bob and im a proffesional swimmer  :wink:


Wow even i'm convinced!  :grin:

Awesome, it best not break when i'm in it then! i'd never be able to live with myself.

In case you do go OEM THIS isn't a bad price!

Just looked at your first post and realised that you already have a single light OEM grille.  :rolleyes:

I also considered some stuff available in South Africa due to the long run of the CITI Golf, not sure on fitment though

http://www.autostyle.co.za/product/16471/Golf1HoneycombGrilleSingleLight/ (although debadged it's different)  Lots of other types available from them, have a snoop around.
