Why do aftermarket parts retailers keep telling me,"there are no parts for the Cabrio" ?
I bought a 1996 MK III Cabrio,I always wanted a VW convertible but could never afford it when I did find one,or they were in too bad condition to pay outrageous prices for.Then I ran across a 96 Cabrio,really nice shape with a perfect price.I went to a couple of shows and decided to try and update the look with a body kit,debadged grille,lighting upgrade etc.Nothing too wild but just a more mogern look.The problem is,Even though the Cabrio is just a rag top Golf. Every vendor keeps telling me,"there are no aftermarket parts that work on the Cabrio." No body kits,no fender mount antenna (for some reason they all want to sell me a roof mount antenna like on a Golf or Jetta), no grills or hoods,nothing.Although there are even pictures of kitted Cabrio's on their websites and I see them at car shows.Why is every one telling me continually,"golf parts will not work on a Cabrio? I just want to make my Cabrio look up to date like this photo without the vertical doors.Makes it look exotic and really sweet.Thanks for any help and your time. Meade (o\_I_/o)
