If you mean late westy GTI, there were no badgeless grilles, but many custom ones have been made before using slats from other grilles to make a badgeless one.

I know there is a source for a new non-GTI repop somewhere, I will search VWVortex as I know I found it on there before.

If you are looking for a red stripe grille, you will have to either find a used one somewhere, or find a new one and use some mars red pin striping to make the stripe, or paint it also. I've seen it done both ways.

Im looking for a 1984 gti grill that has indicator spots on the grill not the flat one for just headlights. Or if there is any grill that would be compatible with the 84 gti.

BFI only has round grills. I looked through my bookmarks and only found newish re-pops of early westy grills, although one site had a picture of an early westy grill with the years for a late westy (81-84).

Here's the site here:

If you still have your grill, find the part number on it and see if it matches one of those.

To find a late westy grill you gotta search it looks like, via eBay, The Samba, VWVortex, local junkyards and swap meets, etc...
