Excellent quality and fits well - havent installed it yet as I am trying to locate a shorter front plate to attach with magnets!

If only they sold the grill separately...

Might be worth a try emailing them asking if they are willing to split and just do grills

Thought somebody would have, shame really although £75 ain't too bad of the fit is good just to give the front a freshen up

I've asked xenonzuk as well to split and he won't! I've had a a3>rs3 grill off him tho and the quality is really good!

@StuF (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3501) have you got any pics of it un packed? Is it Oem quality on the grill? Or shiney gloss?

I don't have any pics yet mate - I did unpack it and test fitted it to make sure.
Quality was great and the finish is shiny instead of Matt
The grills and other bits I considered to be free extras!

Is the front grill from xenonzuk definitely a smoothed one with no holes for the number plate holder? Wanted to buy a set but wasn't sure if it was smoothed
Title: Re: Front number Plateless grill...
Post by: StuF on March 28, 2015, 09:00:41 am
Yep totally smooth - no holes, as per the U.S. spec

From the pictures it looks like the thick bar where the licence plate would sit, think they try and keep it OEM as possible, could always wrap It matt or run it down and spray it

Did it come with the black gti badge?

Nope standard silver GTI and VW badges were on the grille when it first arrived - I just swapped my ones from the old grille over :happy2:

That looks spot on! How's the fitment on the rest of the kit?

The quality of the grill was fine - there was the odd bit of plastic from the mould left stuck to it but these came off no bother and nothing you would notice.
I defy anyone to spot the difference with it installed to the car over a £££ original part.
It clipped into place perfectly and lined up just as well as the OG part I took off!

With reference to the lower honeycomb grill and two fog sections, I havent used them although they are now hot spares incase of rabbit/badger strikes!
They also look to be great quality and well made - cant complain considering the whole lot was £75 delivered!
