Interesting car this, nice save.  it's funny how many little differences there are compared to a Euro Spec.

Nice find... same thing when I was sourcing a grille, only paid a tenner for mine but it had a slight split in the plastic around the ring for a headlight, was covered when headlights in so bit of hot glue to make sure it didn't get any worse,  job done.

Bonus!... Yeah I spend so much time not being able to find something and then finding loads after I buy one.   I hate i when thigs come up dead cheap and you either miss them or not in a position to buy them.


Just missed out on a mk1 golf chopped for a trailer for £43!
