Hi Steve,
I had the same situation w/ a broken round headlight grille & replaced it
w/ the Euro/SA style grille & lights.
I think it looks great, BUT the grille is flimsy, & prone to be broken,
which mine has, & the VW emblem fell out, unbeknowst to moi at the carwash!
Now I need a new SA grille only, but as far as I can tell, I need to buy
the whole kit again at much more than I originally bought it for 6-8 years
ago.
YMMV,

Mr. BZ
