Gti Front Grill
« on: September 05, 2011, 08:12:01 pm »
Has anyone bought a front grill off ebay from ukbestdealinter? It comes with both badges and is brand new, they want £50 for it?

Copy grill not genuine, the quality typically isn't the best.

ECS are a good and trusted company to buy from, plenty of people on here have bought from them in the past. :happy2:

If its not included in the price, you have got to be looking 20 quid+ for something that size, then possibly import tax.

I would not buy from the States on this item, Shipping is usually quite a lot from ECS, then there is import duty (around £30) and then the chance it may be damaged when it gets here, and you have to pay to send it back again.  A lot of hassle.
Or keep an eye on e bay as genuine ones do come up now and then. :happy2:
