Title: Which grills are these?!
Post by: Simpy on November 25, 2012, 04:53:41 pm: Anyone any idea?! I cant find them on Us Ebay thinking they were Ameircan spec Jetta ones but can only find the extended ones?!

I need the fog light versions though?!

But these have a gloss black part instead of chrome

Its a Jetta?? Why would you fit a Golf GTi bumper, just to refit all the chrome grill, lower vent and side foglight covers - when the Jetta come with this as std?

Post by: skard on November 30, 2012, 01:41:00 pm: Simpy is right, these are Jetta 'style' but not Jetta fitment.

OEM Jetta ones have a much longer top spoiler and the bumper has an indent for it.
