>I met a man at the VW Classic in Irvine, CA in early June who specialized
in Vanagon parts. He had a European replacement for the plastic front grill
of the round headlighted Vanagons. This grill had the typical Hdlights as
well as a set of halogen "driving" lights. I considered it for two nanosecs
until he clarified that he wanted $400. for the set up including the
halogens.  "Quite rare." (Un-huh~ what the person who'd pay $400 or what!)
Doop, no thanks... I didn't even have the $350. that he wanted for the NOS
side tent that some listees would buy for $600! He went home w/o the tent
and with the the front grill.

>Yup, the others who have responded are correct. I now remember that he did
indeed say that he imported the item from South Africa. I think I can find
the business card if anyone is seriously interested.
