importing a scirocco?



  i know it's been discussed before and i have read some topics on the subject and have visited the nhtsa's web site. seems like all you'd have to do is swap things over to make it compatible with u.s. regualations. about the only items i can think of would be bumpers and headlights. everything else, afaik, should be the same. i'm sure that emissions would be similar, but since i'm not sure about the various little items like that, i can't be positive.
  the other tid-bit i heard was in regards to the rally golfs. apparently they CAN be imported, but have to be gone through and converted to u.s. spec at the import yard. unfortunately they end up destroying the euro-spec parts in the process. i'm just curious to know other peoples thoughts on shipping the u.s.-spec parts over to europe, having them installed, then have the whole car shipped over (euro-spec parts contained in the car, of course). if something like this can happen, i have a feeling that dirk may be kicking my ass. any responses welcome.
