ive got a spot light grill with spots i ll go and have a look and see if its ok, you would need to get the outer bits for it tho, btw its a 13 slat grill so dunno if it would fit your later rivage

It is different as my tintop is the reverse.  I have a later cabby 5 bar grille on mine.  I had to shave the clips off as they aren't the same as the 13 slat.

Sh*t, Guy, i'm starting to think that the spots fitment is different too thinking back to my standard white tintop I had with the same grille raferackstraw mentions!  let me think/check before you go buying the ones i emailed you about or accepting the above offer.

They share fitment with a mk2 I think which now makes me wonder if cabbys spots are the same as mk2's its just older tin tops with 13 slat grilles that are different...

Sorry Guy..... we will get this right soon

Right.... Sorry for the constantly changing answers. This is final

Tin top MK1 GTI spots (which has 13 slat grille) do not fit 5 bar caddy grille (I have a slightly modded late cabby grille on mine)

Late Cabby Spots (on 5 bar grill) do not fit tintop 13 slat grille

Mk2 spots do not fit tintop 13 slat grille

Mk2 spots (on 7 bar grille????) DO fit Late 5 bar caddy but note the brackets are very slightly different, but they will fit.
