Yes, there was a VW conversion done to it when I bought it a few years ago. It was headed to the scrap yard before I bought it.
As far as the headlight clips go, they are the ones that hold the headlight in. Probably about 4" long and clip over the headlight. I bought some a while ago, but they are for the Fiat 500 and are noticably smaller.
Also, are there springs that go under the wiper arms?
Thanks,Brian.
