Yep - there's are £111 without any badges!
Expensive compared to the £75 xenonz charge for the whole lot

I don't have any pics yet mate - I did unpack it and test fitted it to make sure.
Quality was great and the finish is shiny instead of Matt
The grills and other bits I considered to be free extras!

Which bits are shiney?

From the pictures it looks like the thick bar where the licence plate would sit, think they try and keep it OEM as possible, could always wrap It matt or run it down and spray it

Its just a way of life.

Nope standard silver GTI and VW badges were on the grille when it first arrived - I just swapped my ones from the old grille over :happy2:

The quality of the grill was fine - there was the odd bit of plastic from the mould left stuck to it but these came off no bother and nothing you would notice.
I defy anyone to spot the difference with it installed to the car over a £££ original part.
It clipped into place perfectly and lined up just as well as the OG part I took off!

With reference to the lower honeycomb grill and two fog sections, I havent used them although they are now hot spares incase of rabbit/badger strikes!
They also look to be great quality and well made - cant complain considering the whole lot was £75 delivered!
