• Physically it will fit. I dont know if it uses differt bracing tho..
  
  Also i am unsure if your cluster and that will work or are you getting those too??

• 84 would likely be pre-ce1 wiring..
  
  i dont think the wiring is the same between a jetta and a rabbit tho..

• If you don't mind me stoping in on your thread 
  
  But I've been wondering if a jetta grill and headlight assembly will fit on a mk1 rabbit 81.
  Would you need the radiator support?
  
  Thanks

• If you have a good mk1 Jetta grille and associated parts, hold onto them. I rarely ever see those on the road around here, or in the junkyards. They've become really rare. Rabbits are much more common.
