There were 2 different dual-round-light grills made. I have seen one older
camper here in NZ, and suspect it may be an early South African unit. It
had, from memory, 4 equal-sized lights and numerous narrow slats like
single-round-light German grills; the inner lights are surrounded by a
narrow raised edge; it doesn't look good. The current South African
Microbus has dual round lights; the inners are smaller-diameter high-beam
only, the grill is extremely thin (flimsy-seeming) plastic with a sandgrain
finish and few wide slats and looks great; really aggressive, similar to a
Series 1 or 2 Golf GTi.
