How VW still makes the Rabbit in some countrys, here is the link to the newset one.. rabbit body, brand new interior, and it's called a Citi Golf

1988. That's what I have. The 1987s only had 2 headlights, not 4.

1993 actually.

I have an 89 I've been fixing up. I had it all fixed up and went to pass the MASS inspection last month and you know what - it passed. The car was not even running when I bought it, had it towed home by AAA. So the wife takes it out for her inaugural spin and guess what - the brake master cylinder fails. She's only going 2 mph at an intersection and the grill of the car gets impaled by some guys open pickup tailgate. Broke one of the driving lights in the grill too.

To make a long story short I had to replace the radiator and the grill (since the grill pushed into the A/C condensor with pushed into the radiator cracking the plastic where the bracket goes into it). I searched far and wide and could not find a cheap ( 1988. That's what I have. The 1987s only had 2 headlights, not 4.

While we're on the subject, there wasn't actually at 94 Model Cabriolet/Cabrio here in the U.S. was there?

Nope. It returned for '95.

model years came with the 4 headlight grill and factory body kit(side skirts and big bumpers)?

************ Not sure which years but it's the Wolfsburg Edition that has what most folks call the "Clipper Kit" - with the rubber bumper covers, flares & sideskirts, & the 4-light grill. I have the flares, sideskirts, & rear bumper from a '90 model for sale if anyone needs them (also the console with the gauges). I also have the grill & lights but it's all new (well one light is a couple years old) so I'm not willing to part with it cheaply. BTW new price at the dealer is: Grille - $90; lights - $70 each. I may be getting a discout though... ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"

A flower is nothing more than an educated weed.

1988 to 1993 in the US

Really? Don't all our 1988-1993 ones have this? I don't recall them ever looking different across those years here. (or maybe every one I saw from '88 to '93 were Wolfies...heheh).

And the "Clipper Kit" name comes from the UK version of this body package called "Clipper".
