The genuine VW ones cost around £70.
I think most on here just get the ebay copies that have nothing on the rear of the grills.

Yes 2 min job. It's held in by one philips screw per grill and just pulls off. New ones just pop in.

As mentioned the eBay copies will have no rear covers, will let all sorts of sh*t in though them such as rain, muck, grit, salt etc which I'm not keen on. Genuine ones are around £80-£90 new for a full set (all 4 pieces). Not sure if VW still sell them but they should. They were standard on the very first UK spec'd GTI's.

I've got the original P/N's somewhere if you want?

Mine...

I got a used Mongolian set online for £6.

I'm not worried about the muck getting into the engine bay because I've decided I want a Mercedes CL500. 5 litres of loveliness.
