putting cabriolet body kit on a rabbit

[drew@dyermaker.cs.uoguelph.ca (drew)]

To each their own... :)  Personally, I prefer single ROUNDS to single
RECTANGLES...  But the headlights are only one of a long list of beefs
I have with Westmoreland-built VW's - don't get me started... :)

As far as the body kit goes - it *should* fit - at least it's more likely
to fit on a US Rabbit than it would on a Scirocco or Jetta, anyways... :)
