Before I discovered the great junkyards around the country I used to frequent Modern Imports in 
St. Louis.  

They always irritated me to no end because I would call ahead to request a part but I would 
always have to wait when I got there while someone removed my part.  Once I needed an AC hose and 
they sent me into the yard with a 'dismantler' to point out what I needed.  The donor car was a 
red 16v Scirocco, in seemingly excellent condition but it had suffered in the flood of 93.  The 
hood release cable snapped and I gasped as my man took a crowbar to the hood in an effort to 
raise it.  Having failed at that, the front grill and headlights were next to be destroyed.

You just dont treat a Scirocco like that.

I noticed another Scirocco nearby and inquired at the front desk about the grill as mine was 
missing a few slats.  I was told that the grille could not be sold separately but was part of a 
package which included the whole front end.

I havent been back since.
