I know there are several different types. But if you have a pair for sale and can send a picture... cool.
Thanks,
David

Troy, if David isn't going to take them, I'm interested. By the way, nice pics of the car show. Who owens the dark silver car next to the blue one? What color is that car?

Eddie,
Have not heard back from David yet. These are grills not mesh screen. They look great, I just don't like the idea of giving up the class so that they can be installed. The dark grey car belongs to Eric Supnet. It is really cool. The color is called Graphite. It has a T IV engine.

Troy, thanks for the quick reply. I was thinking about the mesh screen covers that work with the lenses in place not the grills. Thanks anyway. I like the graphite color, as I'm thinking of a repaint in the future. It might look good with the wine red seats.

Troy,
Sent an email about the grills. Out of town, just got back. Do you have pics you can send?

Check out Greg Billesbach's car in the photos section, he has the grilles mounted in a way that still allows him to retain the glass lenses. It looks pretty sharp and keeps your headlight buckets from becoming bug scoops.
Headlight Grills - I came across a nice looking chrome pair in a "Mid America Motorworks" catalogue. In the pic they appear to be oval.
Part # 108-011 - $119.99

Headlight protectors:: I just got a reply back from Mid America and the headlight protector are oval like the origionals. They are a bit different from the wire mesh type through. Actually I think they look better.
Are they on the Mid-America website? I couldn't find them.
Try this link or go to the VW area and type in 108-011 that should bring up the page. Then clink on the part number, top left in blue and that will bring up a pic of the grills.
I ordered a set yesterday, I'll post back on fit, finish and so forth when they get here.

Update - Well the grills arrived and they are beautiful and well made and very sturdy. Problem is, they will not fit over the ridge on the edge of the glass. They appear to be able to fit top to bottom but not on the sides.
I talked to Mid America about this and one of the guys is going to take one of the grills and see if there is a glass available they will fit over properly.
Without the glass in plaace they fit snugly and look wonderful so an option would be to install without the glass. I was considering removing the little running light and sealing the hole from moisture as their mostly useless anyway. I'ed rather mount a pair of daytime running lights anyway.
Another thought was to send the light fixtures out to be chromed and installing the chrome grills without the glass. The Fellow at Mid America is going to get back to me on the glass. When he does I'll follow up.
