Re: Rounds in a MK2

[SCIROCCO2@t-online.de (Dirk Schneider)]

Hello,

for all who are interested, I added some close up pictures
on my "round lights in a Mk2" site :
http://home.t-online.de/home/SCIROCCO2/runde_lichter.htm

the guy who did it, used a Golf Mk2 grille to fit
the rounds of an Mk1 in.
If you look carefully you will notice the
difference in diameter.
In spite of this, it looks O.K.

mit freundlicher Lichthupe...
