i havn't heard of one before, maybe try a custom fabricators or possibly get some of that chrome strip stuff from halfords and do the top and bottom lines like some mk2's?

yeh suppose, will have a browse at halfords tomorrow

girlfriend says she wants to get me a new headunit as she's fed up with me getting angry with my current one.. driving me insane.. Â£70 spending money

not gonna buy me an extreme quality one, but i just need something better than a 15 year old cd player like i have atm!

No job at moment

might be stretching that a bit then mate, i believe some catalogs like argos, choice may do an absolute budget HU for about Â£70...other than that try asking round all your mates if they've got a spare one they wanna make a few Â£Â£Â£ from lol

Yeh was thinking of perhaps either saving it or getting a Cherry Bomb Exhaust (thanks 2 2pac convincing me) & a rare sports steering wheel for VW MK1 i found at good price..

There's a couple of nice ones on here, not sure about the spec you're after tho.

i had to make my own before but for a mk2, think your best bet is trying it yourself.

or trying to find a audi50 grill and chroming it yourself to make it badgeless

those look like good deals actually

i'm guessing all you want is a standard HU which plays a cd without skipping right? in which case i'd just go for one of the Â£50-60 hu's on that site

I don't know if badgeless grilles were ever available for Mk1's (just waiting for someone to prove me wrong

)

I have a boxed, unused Hella twin-light grille (including driving lights) for a Mk1 if you're interested PM me...though it won't be cheap!

Does mine count?

ps. im looking for some early headlights, or at least, the mounting brackets from an early mk1 (with an 'innie' grill)
