Jetta Grills...
« on: March 05, 2012, 12:37:26 am »
Having trouble finding the small chrome strips that run along the top edge of the Jetta fog grills...

Managed to source the actual fog grills from VW (non-fog version). However when they arrived they were missing the top edge..

Asked at VW, and it seems the small chrome strip actually cost significantly more than the actual grills...

Anyone know where to find them? Tried ebay but cant seem to find them?

A few years ago I got a roll of chrome strip with self adhesive backing from eBay, perhaps you could do it that way?

Cheers for the quick reply fella


Im not too bothered whethers its chrome or not, jus need something to fill the space in to be honest..

But now that you've mentioned it, if i cant find anything... might be worth just fabricating something in a similar shape.. 

Cheers fella  :happy2:
