Title: Gti grill options as I never did like the Honey Combe
Post by: r5gtt on November 04, 2016, 12:43:26 am
Hi guys wondered if we have an option to change the grill on the gti as I don't like it and want something different  :grin:

Thanks

There's a carbon version from OSIR USA, not cheap though as you can imagine

It's pretty much what you see on the GT Sport (aka Wolfsburg Grille in the US), I had this on my last car and it's pretty subtle compared to the Honeycomb grille.

For the fog lights you can choose either the GT Sport or the "R-Line" version which extends the slats for an aggressive look.

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fc1552172.r72.cf0.rackcdn.com%2F98825_x600.jpg&hash=f51b1b0d2dba2d696000d4581f6b71a4b2ebc34a)

The other option that fits on the GTI bumper is the Jetta one, like the GT Sport but comes in blingy Chrome which isn't really my thing!

i was thinking of the one but I can't be spending 300 + for that  :signLOL:

Really appreciate the help @PatchySan (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=6709) @Matto (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4512) not @fab5freddy (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3064)  :booty:

Will definitely go for the slatted centre but now the fog ones and lower grill are being a challenge to find cheap  :doh:

Dunno if it's worth trying your local dealer/TPS for those as some people managed to snag it for like £40-50 ish back in the day. Part numbers are: 1K08539899B9 & 1K08539909B9.

hopefully we will get from china before X-mas! hmmm... maybe...

where are you getting the lower center grille?

I might try to keep my open fog lights to show off my front mounted intercooler -  where are you getting your fog lights?
