I like the look of this grill and just wondering are they hard to come by, Price range, fitting problems.

Should be a straight swap, that's the GT/ GT Sport grille in your second picture. Rest of the bumper is more or less the same.

They are indeed a straight swap.

The GTI and GT bumpers are exactly the same. Only difference is the grills and valances.  :happy2:

Shame that's collection only. I wish some people knew how easy it is to use a courier and therefore be able to sell an item to the whole of the UK instead of local!
