Title: Carbon grill
Post by: JackG on September 12, 2011, 07:07:19 pm
 I'm after a carbon grill (real carbon) for my eddie but it's proving difficult finding one!
There's one on ebay but it's from Japan so I'm not convinced! I'd like to but one in the uk if I can? Does anyone know anyone that sells them? Don't want to spend more than £130 if possible
Also...us spec smooth grill...I'm going to buy a OEM one from work but worried about wich side the GTi badge sits on being that it's a US one? All a sudden appeard that it may be on the other side?
Cheers

The carbon grille's are just masks that fit over the standard one. There is a guy on golfgtiforum.co.uk that's importing some at present that look pretty good quality  :happy2:

Also the US Spec grille have the GTI badge on the same side as UK spec ones.

You could always get in touch with someone who will do custom carbon fibre for you.
This would save you having to buy a new grille as they could just cover your old one, and also cover the number plate holes to make it look like a US spec one.
Would give a perfect fit as the covers sometimes leave corners loose.

I don't suppose you could post the link? I had a look in classifieds but couldn't see it, I'm not s member so group buys may be hidden? Cheers  :drinking:
