Title: Grill and Headlights Question?
Post by: GOLF-MK3-GTI on 05 September 2013, 21:06

Can the original MK3 golf Grill be taken apart into 2 pieces? I mean the bottom part clip away from the slats?

Also were the later "R- Reg" headlights single chamber or twin chamber?

Thanks

Gonna be tricky to get your steering wheel on the left side though ;)

Single headlights did still come in basic model even in 97; special models often had twins. The ones I put onto mine came off a 95 Bon Jovi I think.

Not sure if i'm a bit late to the party here but this is the extent that a STD grill can be pulled apart
