Yeah well, that´s a friend´s homework...
He has the SA grille and (i think) golf gti innerlights and wonders how 
to mount these.
I still like the rectangular lights more.

So, SA grilles shipped by the usual U.S. vendors are perhaps another 
"delivery pack" than the german importer. I will foward all your answers 
to my friend.
Hope he can solve his mounting prpblem...

thanks guys!

*dammit. I can convert an engine, but not a front headlight grille*
