Purpose

To make your car look different.

Not much :)  No companies make any kits specifically for the Fox.  However, parts from other Volkswagens/Audis and even other makes can be used on VW Foxes.
• Using VW Dasher (B1) parts:
• Since VW Dashers haven't been made since 1981, finding them is extremely difficult.  If you do find one, buy the whole thing!
• Here's what Chris had to tell me about fitting the VW Dasher setup on his VW Fox:
• I have 4 round headlights and the grill on my car.  Installed in less than 2 hours.  Looks sweet!  Needed to modify my turn signals though, but I think I am going to just fill the corner markers and put on side markers.  The pictures are of work in progress.

• Using Audi Fox (B1) parts:
• This swap might be a bit easier than the VW Dasher, since the Audi Fox grille wraps around the front end of the car, thereby eliminating the need to fill in the fenders.  Pictures coming soon.
• Using Brazilian B1 parts:
• I have no idea whether this would work.  Brazilian B1 Passats (i.e. VW Pointer GTS) came with 4 rectangular headlights, looking somewhat like A1 Jettas and Mk2 Sciroccos.  I will try to get a picture of a Brazilian B1 soon.
• Using A2 VW parts:
• I have only seen one Fox with this conversion, at Waterfest 2000.
• Here's what the owner had to tell me:
• The grille is the correct height and width, so there was no need to modify it.  He did, however, have to fabricate mounting brackets, transfter the metal bar under the lights from the donor car (rad support?), and modify the Fox's stock corner lights and frames to fit with the new grille.  Other than the fabrication, the owner claimed it wasn't too difficult to do.
.
• Using aftermarket Nissan pickup parts:
• Andrew has a Fox with a Phantom grille made for a Nissan pickup truck.
• There wasn't much modification or fabrication necessary.  The grille was trimmed on either side, and 2 slats had to be cut off so the height would fit the Fox front end.  Aside from this, Andrew had his side marker lights removed.  The bumper cover is designed for A1 Cabriolets.
• Using Nissan Sentra parts:
• I don't know too much about this.  I have heard about someone using a Nissan Sentra (or Sentra Classic) front clip to modify a Fox.  I do not know how it turned out, and I do not have any pictures.

Big thanks to Chris Achilles for the VW Dasher grille & light conversion info.
Big thanks to Andrew Karpiak for the Nissan Phantom grille info!
Also to the owner of the Fox wagon at Waterfest 2000, I'm sorry I don't know your name.
