Smashed up my baby (87 Scirocco 16v)

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

1) if you are to get euro bumpers you will need to get front and rear
valences of the euro 16v body kit also as the "slots" for the USA bumper
will show otherwise

2) Eurolights 300$.. Grin... I get mine at under 100$ for a complete set.
3) stock grill can be found on ebay for usually 10-15$
4) there is a thred on Vwvortex in the scirocco section a guy is selling
Euro bumpers for 350$ shipped, 500$ bumpers with eurolights shipped.

=>
=>
=>
=>Last night I rear ended another car and smashed up the grill, hood and
=>bumper of
=>my 87 Scirocco 16v.  Long story... The cause of the accident
=>decided to flee
=>so I'm stuck with paying for my own damage and I don't have collision
=>insurance
=>on the car.
=>
=>Anyway, I'm going to take this as an opportunity to upgrade to a bunch
=>of neat 'euro' stuff.  I've wanted to do these upgrades for years now but
=>couldn't justify throwing away perfectly good bumpers, lights, etc.
=>
=>I've decided to model most of euro upgrades after this car:
=>
=>http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Factory/1780/
=>
=>Please tell me if I am missing anything essential here:
=>
=>* Euro bumpers front/rear
=>* Euro headlights
=>* Euro turn signals
=>* Kamei Grill
=>* Kamei Grill spoiler
=>
=>Questions:
=>
=>* What do you think about color matching the euro bumpers
=>to the color of the car?  Were Stock Euro 16v's color coded?
=>I'm really torn between leaving them black and painting them red.
=>(Any pictures would be much appreciated)
=>
=>* What are Euro lights with Citylights?
=>
=>* Will the Euro lights be brighter than the US?  I hate how dim
=>the scirocco headlights are.
=>
=>* Does anybody have any pictures of the Kamei "mesh" grill up close?
=>I don't know if the car pictured in the link has a mesh grill or not.
=>
=>* Is there anything I should know before attempting this conversion
=>such as weird wiring problems, mounting problems, etc?
=>
=>* Where is a good place to order these parts from?  I already
=>called parts4vws.com and was quoted:
=>$700 - Pair of euro bumpers
=>$336 - pair of Euro lights
=>$60 - stock grill
=>$90 - Euro turn signals (amber)
=>$125 - Kamei Grill
=>
=>I greatly appreciate any help,
