GTI Lower grilles question

Post by polopowah »

Hi
i feel abit stupid asking this one :lol:
but.....
am i right in thinking the centre/lower grille (level with the foglights) is different on the GTI, being see-through honeycomb and not just molded plastic? like on my 1 litre
cheers

My centre honeycomb is cut out, but my left hand side ( if looking at the car from the front) is solid around the fog light. On the other fog light the outer edge is solid, but the other side is cut out. Is this where the cold air feed comes in for the air filter. :?
