Removed Front Grille

Has any of you guys replaced the front standard grilles with some different ones? I saw some "Hofele Design" one's from Awesome-GTI but they're cost like a fortune -> Â£99 (not inc. P&P/VAT).

Well anyway, I removed mine today just to have a look and I was thinking about buying some "mesh" stuff and making my own perhaps?

Crappy Photoshop job just to see.

if its a good job then it will surely stand out from the croud!

It's not that i don't have faith in your skills it's just that i've never seen a homemade grille come out looking good.

how much over in the UK tho? does look neat on a black car...... duno bout silver car

Surely that would go even more with a silver car since it would match the silver with the chrome?

I personally am not a great fan of chromed stuff. And another issue is the price over here in the UK>

price is really the issue here in the uk

Actually I've jus seen this grille on the Polo9n.com site and wondered which manufacture it is. 'cos it ain't got that little piece for the bonnet, it's attached with the grille if you know what I mean. Check.

Can anyone identifiy which make that is? Looks quite nice. Overall the car I too.

Should I try and make my own mesh grille?
