   Depends on what bit of the grill you mean the grill opening it's self is built into the bonnet of a mk2 unlike the mk1. However the insert part of the grill should fit into the mk1 grill opening but theirs no point as their the same.

   And the shape of the mk2 grill is pretty different too, its got alittle bump at the top, and its smaller than the MK1. Would need to do a lot of custom fibreglassing but i dont think anyones done it before

   Never ask for rep, it will be given if deemed to be given. Asking for it is a form of abusing the rep system.

   mk2 grills wont go onto a mk1 at all mate, if you want to do this your going to have to do a front end conversion
   
   so you would need
   
   mk2 bonnet and grill
   mk2 headlights
   mk2 front slam panel and mk2 front wings
   plus any wiring etc
   
   the other way like fibreglassing would take a lot of custom work and tbh would not look right at all, would ruin the lines of the imo

    Hmmm, was just looking for a direct fit that would change the appearance of the front end. Anyone got any ideas/opions??
