Carlzilla did you use the mounting plate from the golf setup aswell? did you have to chop around your clubby grill ends? ive got a grp front so any pics with the grill ends off would be appreciated ;-)

I mounted the mounting tabs into the fg front, but theyre a sod to keep in place due to the thickness of the FG. It would be best to hack the edges off the golf mounting plate. I was going to do that originally but decided against it. But the grille does hold the light in place nicely.
The clubby grille just sits tight up against the light, I didnt bother trimming it. But theres no reason why you couldnt to make the light fit inside.
You can see the tabs here:

Looks pretty cool without the grille if youre careful with how you cut out the middle!

Cheers for that. what are they like for adjustment? your front looks very similar to mine, i had to make my own adjusters on the mini headlamp bowls for the headlight alignment as they were pointing at the floor. Is there much scope for adjustment on the golf setup?

The mounting tabs are the adjusters, so there should be enough there
