Frist two are early and later US Rabbit front ends. Third is Jetta front end (but with wrong bumper and indicators) for UK).

Are the wings on the first one the same as as the European mk1? I know the westy and the jetta are clearly different,  but the top one looks very similar to the eu spec..

if the wings are the same how different are the slam panels? and is it possible to retro fit the square grill on an eu mk1?

I think to do it properly you'd need the entire front panel from a US car (or the part). Wings, unsure but they look similar. There's that reflector on the corner though.

Agreed, the green one is really nice, just not so keen on the wheels.  I'm hoping to find and fit square lights on my cab eventually.

I have 2 nos lower front panels for a westy conversion and obviously the grill, lights are Bedford rascal and then it's just a case of modding the front panel to accept the light baskets. No doubt a huge pain in the bum!!!!
