Oh that's decent then, what was the fit like? Had experiences with some replica stuff fitting terrible in the past!

Went in fine, bit of a fiddly thing getting the two top clips in, but it's easy enough

Anyone tried these guys? Seem decent for £75! http://www.xenonz.co.uk/golf-mk5-gti-grill.html

I've got this on mine. Fits perfectly fine and its good quality. You also get the lower honeycomb grill and fog light covers with this kit.
My old lower grill and fog light covers were starting to turn dull and grey so its freshened up the front end nicely now  :grin:

Hmmm might have to give this a go instead of spraying the lot black then!

For £75 I don't think you can go wrong IMO.

Yes, its not genuine... but it certainly looks the part and it all fits perfectly too.

Saves you having to rub down and prep all that honeycomb ready for spraying which would be very time consuming. On the other hand, rubbing down, prepping and spraying it yourself will be cheaper and very rewarding once its all back on the car :smiley:

That's my two cents worth anyway.
