24seven 104 Posted December 16, 2007 simple really. is the base model grill the same size/fitting as the GTi? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paintguy 0 Posted December 16, 2007 The same size and fitting yes, but iirc the backing is not as 'open' as the GTI and diesel ones, so they let less air through to the radiator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arahan 4 Posted December 16, 2007 Yeah the backing is all solid, no airways through to engine bay or anything! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive heard about this too. It would be easy enough to modify if you cant get one, surley? The bars clip on and off if you can get a GTI backing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted December 16, 2007 From what I've seen down the breakers, the backing's are all the same, it's the actual grille bars that are different and yes solid! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
