The Volkswagen LT was produced in two distinct generations: the LT1 (Mk1), which ran from 1975 to 1996, and the LT2 (Mk2), which ran from 1996 to 2006. Grilles from these two generations are not interchangeable with each other, so always match your part to the correct generation. Within each generation there were facelift updates that changed front-end panels, so the year of your specific vehicle matters — confirm the exact fit with your breaker against your registration.
Both a 1999 and a 2004 Volkswagen LT fall within the LT2 (Mk2) generation, which ran from 1996 to 2006, so in principle they share the same front-end platform. However, there was a facelift within the LT2 production run that updated front-end components including the grille, so you need to confirm with the breaker — using both registrations — whether the specific panels from those two years interchange across that boundary.
No — the front grille on the Volkswagen LT is shared across different wheelbase and roof-height variants within the same generation and facelift period. Whether your van is a short-wheelbase low-roof or a long-wheelbase high-roof makes no difference to grille fitment. Just focus on getting the correct generation and facelift period right, and confirm with your breaker against your registration.
Trim level does not affect grille fitment on the Volkswagen LT — the front grille is a body-panel component shared across the range within a given generation and facelift period. You may find cosmetic differences between grilles sourced from different specification vehicles, such as finish or badge placement, but the physical fit is not trim-dependent. Confirm the generation and year with your breaker rather than worrying about trim designation.
No — the LT Mk1 (1975–1996) and LT Mk2 (1996–2006) are entirely separate generations with different front-end designs, and their grilles will not interchange. Always source a grille from the correct generation for your vehicle. Confirm the exact part with your breaker using your registration to be certain.
The safest approach is to give your breaker your full vehicle registration number, which allows them to look up the precise build date and specification of your LT rather than relying on model year alone. Front-end panels including the grille can change at a facelift even within the same generation, so the registration is the most reliable reference point. A reputable breaker will cross-check this before supplying the part.
