wide grill?? where can i get one?

Post by tooly »

Hi all, does anyone know where i can get a wide grill from, on the last few sciroccos i had i could find them ten a penny and they were easy to get hold of new, can't find anywhere that sells them anymore, just an american shop for 100 dollars with postage :shocking:
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

They are rare as they were only on low spec cars and the first run of GTS's.
It is like clear indicators, like rocking horse shite!

Keep searching the usual media, European ones etc or put an ad in the wanted section.

I have a feeling B2 Passat grills are good to use as well...

When I got my Scirocco last year I wasn't sure I liked the look of the twin lights, so I chopped an old Mk2 Golf grill down, put it loosely in place and stood back to admire my handy work, I then realised this looks too much like one of Dagemhams finest, a Cortina Mk4/5 and promptly put it all back together as was, then chucked the "ruined" grill out. Everyone to their own I suppose and no offense to Cortina enthusiasts, but to me it just didn't look right.
