I am not trying to rain on your parade and really do hope you find them. BUT I looked here, vortex, and everyother site I could think of and could not find any that were better than what the importers have. I had 80.00 shipping in one given to me that I had to cut and weld. If I had to do it over again it would have been cheaper to buy the one on this page...I don't like BFI, but they have them too.

I got the grill off ebay for 38.00.

not mk1 jetta... LOL... mk2.. LOL... like your ol lady's jetta.. imagine with a pair of 200mm squares..

mk1 jetta = euro jetta for big squares.. else you loose the lower front panel built in squareness for crappy bunny roundness... even though ive wondered what it would be like to bond a early westy square set up with lower jetta squareness...

I cut up a westy 200mm square to put my rounds in. I have always seemed to get more light out of a round. I like the looks of them too. I think everything available is better than the aero setup.

can't believe you can't find one over in ptown or up north.  I'll keep my eyes out down here.  Thought you were kidding before ;D  And yes, mk2's look better with rounds i thinkey.

um... your joking right?

i would never even consider a westy front clip on my 92..

i dont even like the way they look on an early mk2 with small bumpers..

and i dont really like big bumpers, like small bumpers..

i want ROUND HEADLIGHTS. ive wanted them since i saw my first old rabbit..

nothing is going to change my mind. i want rounds, im getting rounds.

thanks for the suggestion, but i DONT like those lights. i like the fact that you can get nice aftermarket light housings for them, but so can you for the 7" round lights..

for me, theres only 2 options, aero, or round..

thanks for all your suggestions, but im going round.. most likely duals..

no.. rabbit parts are specific to mk1 cars.

i have a 92 jetta now. its a mk2. nothing mk1 fits besides the engine..

i need a grill for an 85-92 mk2 VW..

there is a BIG DIFFERENCE between mk1, and mk2 cars.. they may be shaped similarly, but there WAY DIFFERENT..

nothing mk1 fits besides the engine.. there is a BIG DIFFERENCE between mk1, and mk2 cars.. they may be shaped similarly, but there WAY DIFFERENT..

front seats, steering wheels, shifter knobs, window cranks, door handles, rear spindles drums and pads, front calipers, windshield wipers, light bulbs in the taillights..

haha, just kidding KEVO!

An mk2, wouldnt look to good westy your right, but an mk1 jetta does :) Oooh damn does it ever.





He eventually got it up to 430whp :D
