I have taken off my front headlight grill to give it a bit of a touch up. but have now noticed a half inch gap that runs all the way around.
can this be filled with a piece of trim similar to what the golf gti had in red around it.
if so does anyone know where I can get this from??

Re: silver trim to headlights
On the Caravelle, this raised edge was sprayed silver. Have seen it picked out in red but I always think it looks a bit naff done like that. Works better on Golfs.
Try it with coloured insulating tape from local pound shop first. That way you can try it without being committed....

Re: silver trim to headlights
do you know where I can actually get the silver trim bit from, as mine is missing it.
I want to either keep it black or white to match the van. but I need to get it first lol

Re: silver trim to headlights
It isn't a bit, the original grill just had the raised bit chromed.
On rereading the original post you mention a gap. That is supposed to be there and there isn't anything standard to fill it afaik.
Decorators caulk? Lol

Re: silver trim to headlights
Hi,
I,ve just bought a second hand grill for my carravel (square lights) and this has a crome trim inserted into the surround similar to the deluxe window, s on my carravel, however the original grill was painted silver from the factory, Ive just had quick look and the crome trim is held into the grill with a rubber seal, if this was removed it would leave you with the gap around your grill as you described, as where to get these from ? good luck,
