Or waiting to see what the chrome edged one from the 2004 range will be like (that's what I doing...)
Here's a picture

you can even already order it from VW (at least on the continent)

There actually theres this guy who bought some dooredge chrome strips and put it on his grille, and it also looks nearly as good...

hope the pictures are not too big for you..

so i went to motor world on sunday, but they didnt have any chrome strips... that would be the cheaper solution, but maybe not as durable.. the chrome stiprs should cost about 4 quid, but on the continent the 2004 grille is about 40 quid, maybe even more expensive in the UK...

i also like the abt grille. if you order it from ABT its about 100 quid...

The UK price + VAT is £47.23 I think. I imagine the price quoted on polo9n.com was + any German taxes, so its probably only £7 more.
I ordered mine today, £38 at cost :P

Seven days and counting...
