Title: smooth grills?
Post by: theo91 on September 02, 2012, 07:25:45 pm

can you buy grills without holes for the number plate holder in from vw? or do you have to get the plastic welded ?

I kept my eye out for one on eBay then had it plastic welded, smoothed and painted.

German eBay, about £100  ish  :happy2:  or just get an old second hand one and have it filled and painted/vinyl wrapped.

Pretty sure it wouldnt be too hard a job to do yourself. With some sandpaper and filler you should be able to do a good job
