Mk5 golf GTI Open Fog Light Grilles

[scooba]

IS THERE  a benefit of fitting the open type ???

They were fitted for hot climate countries, some on here say no point fiting on uk cars and may cause issues. Personally had them fitted for a couple of years with no issues but i fitted because i liked the look of them.

They do look good though as the centre grill is 'open' so now matches.

I was hoping it might keep the DSG a bit cooler but am now probably talking bollocks!

On UK spec cars, categorically NOT.  Why do you think the very early Mk5 GTIs had open-ish fog grilles, but then subsequently closed them.  VW did that for a reason.

Told you I was talking bollocks!

Anyway when they came one vent was completely blocked anyway.

The other had a angled channel to direct air somewhere.
