Subject:      HELP - I need a Caravelle VIN so I can get some light grills
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com

I was talking to the VW dealer and he said there is no problem for him to
get the grills.  BUT, VW Canada will not give him any pricing unless they
can get a VIN # off of a real Caravelle.  There is something about they
could be liable if the lights went on a Vanagon and that person got caught
[ suppedly the lights are not Transport Canada approved?? ] .  The same
thing happened when one of their customers wanted H4 lights for their 97
Jetta.  VW got the lights OK from an after market place but they needed the
European rad support to make them fit.  They had to find a VIN from a
European Jetta before they could order the extra parts needed to make them
fit.

If any one can help me out with a Caravelle VIN number I can find out how
much the Caravelle light grills cost in Canada.  The BIG benafit from
buying them at the dealer is free shipping...

Thanks in advance!
