The problem with cutting out all the holes is that you then see rough looking bulkhead in the upper region behind.

Mask it off and spray it black?

....Yes, the best solution but still pretty untidy looking as you'd still see the sides of the fogs etc etc - Messy visually.
I prefer the square section but it looks like an amateur afterthought stylistically (I know I've got them on mine). I really detest the filled in ones as they look like a pretend vent.

I'm a big advocate of form following function, not the reverse. For whatever reason VW decided to ditch the open grills. I'm happy to accept that an engineering decision has out weighed an aesthetic one.
I've seen people solve similar problems with cross members etc. showing through mesh buy painting the offending object black. You'd be surprised how well it hides everything that sits behind the grill. Obviously you wouldn't want to use a gloss black that would shine through, but with a matte finish, unless you got really close or direct light fell on the grill, you'd be hard pushed to see what was behind the full open grill.

Hi
Having had the time to catch up with quite a bit of forum work , I am now here on yours and decided to see what is going on
To my distress I see this
Now , what can I say?
These products , we have not been getting these from the dealers..... we have been shipping them in from America :ashamed:
But then , now we are looking in to these from the dealers.....
I am so sorry , you will find that parts we get from the dealers , we sell at dealer prices or less
So our apologies , but we will be getting a pair on order from the dealer now , as we have just got the part numbers , so please watch , as the prices will be lowered very soon
Sarah
