Can someone tell me....
« on: March 12, 2009, 08:12:09 am »
...what these do? If anything?

Or do they just change the look of the car?

Cheers  :smiley:

It's really just cosmetic.

If you really want them, you can get them much more cheaply from your vw dealer as it's an oem part.

Just paid 22 pound for min from the dealer and it included air ducting for thr passenger side. Main reason i brought them was to give more air when i fit my FMIC at the weekend.

Do they just throw numbers up in the air and charge whatever lands on the desk?

Disgusting.

Did someone say the "open-air" side grills are OEM parts? 

So, what car do they normally fit them on, and why do they have them blocked on the standard GTi?

Just curious...

P.S. Awesome's price is a joke...

That would be me!   :smiley:

They (the open grills) originally made their appearance on gtis bound for hot climate locations but it was only later that VW decided that they were not really necessary so stopped using them on new cars.
