US smooth grill part number?
« on: August 30, 2011, 07:29:09 pm »
Hi everyone, I apologise if this has been covered before but i've searched and can't seem to find it! I know awesome gti sell the US spec smooth GTI grills, but at a cost.  I heard you can get them direct from VW, and therefore can you get them from TPS? If so does anyone have the part number handy? Many thanks in advance  :happy2:

Yeah i was going to buy mine from awesome but im sure i read somewhere you can get it from vw and its cheaper, and then even cheaper again at TPS! Ill try vw with that part number and if all else fails ill have to just get it from awesome.  Thanks for the reply  :smiley:

Yeah ordering from the US would make sense, i must admit i was quite suprised when i read somewhere you can buy them at your local dealership.  Ill probably pop in to VW tomorow with the part number and theyll give me directions to the nearest airport ha! Then ill order one off awesome  :happy2:

Are you sure that the correct part number, when I ordered my US Spec GTI Grill it was 1K0 853 651 H VW8  :confused:

Also the list price inc VAT is now £125.83.

Part number 1K0 853 653 B VW8 comes up as a Jetta GLI Grill so should fit but won't have the GTI badge.
