I want a VW Taro grille for my 4runner for obvious reasons. These trucks were made from 89-the mid 90s I think. They are just rebadged Toyotas.
Does anybody have any means to find one of these? German contacts, etc?

I'm guessing these can be had through a VW dealer. Would these be in euro ETKA maybe?

E-mail Christian (EuropeanPerformanceProducts@shaw.ca) (heizervr6 (http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerouser?cmd=viewprofile&id=192139) on Vortex)! Dollars to doughnuts he'll be able to find it and prolly at the best price you could find.

GL! It sounds like a smooth idea!

Awesome! Rich can you see if there is a screen with the grille itself? #19 and #35 look like the grille but they are actually the bumper valances.

Glad to help.


For what I can see in ETKA, it looks like the motor is a 2.4l deisel of around 80hp.

Yeah, its just a rebadged Toyota. Adam, do you really want to go to a VW dealer while on vacation? I'm not sure exactly what countries these were sold in. Germany is the only one I know of for sure.

try kevin (brilliantyellow).. he told me if I had the part numbers for parts over in Germany, he would go to the dealer for me next time he went...

I guess he goes for work at times...
