Even if you did manage to make it fit the shape of the bonnet would just make the headlight look same shape as golf ones wouldn't it? Kinda defeating the object.  :lipsrsealed:

Yeah it does fit. Just looks cack. You have to pull it right forward so it shuts.

have you fitted a square into a round hole??



it's the headlight area which causes the issues! the golf bonnet curves to fit round the lights

Surely the grille is too high?

That's why you have to pull it right forward. It catches and looks sh!te. I did it once to get the car home from work while the bonnet was having a spray up.

I've seen people do it, but it does look really bad.
