VW South Africa manufactures various models. The Type 25, or Type 2
T3 Transporter ("Vanagon" in USA), is still made there. The Caravelle
version is the top-of-the-line one, with rectangular headlights. The
Microbus version has dual round lights; the inner pair is smaller,
much like a Golf GTi, and looks really aggressive; this grill fits
all round-light T3s. The lower grill is a full-width 1-piece item
without any  foglights, and looks much better than the stock German
Hitler-mustache unit!


Bays were the Type 2  T2 (or Series 2), 1967-1989 and still in
production in Mexico & Brasil; these are basically much-modified T1s
(Splits), with redesigned cab and curved windshield; early models
retained the Split's rear shape and lights; later versions changes
this to a more squared-off rear.
