Gti grill options as I never did like the Honey Combe
« on: November 04, 2016, 12:43:26 am »
Hi guys wondered if we have an option to change the grill on the gti as I don't like it and want something different  :grin:

Thanks

There's a carbon version from OSIR USA, not cheap though as you can imagine

You know how I like my bargains  :doh: for one I wouldn't get it for half that price as some twat will just reverse into you and that's it a grand blown on a rip off bit of carbon  :signLOL: also he's prices are pathetic greedy twat.

It's pretty much what you see on the GT Sport (aka Wolfsburg Grille in the US), I had this on my last car and it's pretty subtle compared to the Honeycomb grille.



For the fog lights you can choose either the GT Sport or the "R-Line" version which extends the slats for an aggressive look.



The other option that fits on the GTI bumper is the Jetta one, like the GT Sport but comes in blingy Chrome which isn't really my thing!

yeah I'm all for that one TBH I like it  :smiley:

And this  :jumping:

i was thinking of the one but I can't be spending 300 + for that  :signLOL:

Really appreciate the help @PatchySan @Matto not @fab5freddy  :booty:

Will definitely go for the slatted centre but now the fog ones and lower grill are being a challenge to find cheap  :doh:

Dunno if it's worth trying your local dealer/TPS for those as some people managed to snag it for like £40-50 ish back in the day. Part numbers are: 1K08539899B9 & 1K08539909B9.

Thank you I'll check them out now as I want my car back on form asap  @croak2012  :drinking:
R32 grill won't fit the gti bumper and the bumper is £250 delivered from Yorkshire  :signLOL: cheap enough.

Ps I'm ordering that black Gti Jetta grill as it's been in my watch list and thanks again for your help.  Now in just need the lower fog grills and centre one. :thinking:

I meant the r32 grill for 189 pounds - search for "VW Golf R32 Grill All Gloss Black Edition MK5 New Fits 2004-2008 GTI TDI TSI gti"

includes the lower grille?


check it out but it does have a little chrome...

one for 179 too...




honey still tastes sweet...
