I like your style mate.

Also, another point I'd like to raise... What is needed to go from twin lamp to single lamps? Just the setup from a Mk2 CL or something?

single light grille only. just leave the spotlight plugs disconnected! outer lamps are both dip and main beams, spots are just additional main beam lamps.

Ah, cool, thanks. Getting a second Golf soon, which is a small bumper model, so trying out single lamps and Ronal Turbo 15" on it. Cheers.

Still searching for a non-bodge job way of sorting the Rallye front end, lol. :laugh:

Would loosening the bolts that hold the wings on and then pulling them out a bit help? I used this method to get a grill to fit that was obstructed by a dent. It does spoil the gap between the bonnet and and the wing though.

It's a thought, but then I'd rather not mess about with bodywork. Worst comes to worst, I'll trim a bit off the end of the grill so it fits in, whould be pretty hidden once in place properly.
