Gaffer · 07-06-2009, 12:35 PM

looks really good, would look better if you didnt need the reg plate, kinda spoils it lol

BLG · 07-06-2009, 12:38 PM

Unfortunately that isnt an option :/ lol but yeah your right

Breen78 · 07-06-2009, 06:02 PM

Looks good! How easy was the GTi grille to fit? Thinking doing my GT.

What about airflow for the FMIC won't the numberplate interfere?

BLG · 07-07-2009, 11:29 AM

The gti grill fits exactly were the old gt was. just 4 T20 screws, takes 2 minutes.

Breen78 · 07-07-2009, 04:41 PM

Hope it's easy enough. Just bought GTi one off ebay. THe GTi emblem come with it so I'm assuming it'll come off easy enough and hopefully just clip back on my GT Sport one?

Caz · 07-08-2009, 06:45 AM

_adam_ · 07-08-2009, 06:40 PM

i dremmelled a few of the clips off, only left 2 behind. cant really describe will try an get pics....

Breen78 · 07-08-2009, 07:08 PM

That would be great, cheers.

Breen78 · 07-09-2009, 04:29 PM

GTi grill came today. Will fit perfectly on my GT only thing is the VW badge is a different size!! AAArrrgh!
Gonna phone my local hwaco in the morning on the off chance they'll have the on eI need in stock!

_adam_ · 07-09-2009, 06:00 PM

that's odd, mine fit straight on....
sorry havent got round to pics of the badge, working alot

Breen78 · 07-09-2009, 06:05 PM

my badge was a good bit too big. The hole in the GTi grill is like 127mm - think it's the same size as standard badges. Hopefully get hold of one before monday as I'm back to work offsore for 3 weeks!
