Best source for new front grille
« on: November 30, 2021, 05:56:57 pm »
Hi guys,

I need a new front grill (top part) for the black 06 GTi - not Ed 30. Would like to keep it as original looking as possible.

Genuine VW part seems to be £215 ....OUCH !!!!

Lots of replicas out there on the web ..... can anyone recommend a good source - supplier ?

Thks

I got a cheap eBay one around a year ago and still looks spot on

I got an eBay one about 3 years ago, looked alright to begin with but literally all the tabs have broken off where I've taken it off a handful of times. Hanging on by just the two torx screws at the top. If your genuine one is not broken and just faded, your better off painting the original.

LLLParts or Cars245 are good for genuine parts at discounted prices.
