I use a website called photobucket. Open up an account and just load up photos. Give it a go!!!
But when you want to put pics in your threads-copy and paste the IMG code into your thread/reply/new topic.
Theres 3 other codes aslo, but if you want a signiture pic, again its the IMG code, and if you want an Avatar its the Direct link code. ( the avatars sometimes dont load up tho for me on the Gti.co.uk site)

............Hope that helps!?

I don't mind the look too much it's just the pattern is strange

I think these were fitted to very early GTI's ...

If you look at this very early press material of the GTI, you can spot your grilles in a couple of the photos

Thats what I'm thinking. Also looking at the front fogs, they appear to be changed to another item.

the fog lights are the projector one like mine and they are from the touran but you need to change the plugs on the fog loom cos the bulbs are H11 not HB4's.

They are definitely genuine oem grilles fitted to the earlier models.
