Jace

Sneaker Freaker
The grill is from SET-FACTORY, the quality is OK, but not OEM standard.

Anyway, took about 20mins to fit in total as I to trim it a bit to fit, theres nothing like a new stanley blade .

I took some pics of the fit to help incase anybody else goes this route

Did it come pre-primed ready to fit or have you painted it?, also does the mesh come pre-fitted?

I shall be ordering one. I'm sure there was a post somewhere showing you where to get a stick on S badge thats the same as whats on the original grill if you wanted it to look the same.

DO you just click the buy it now Jace? Not to good on German so cant work out delivery times either

No need for a badge, I like the meaner look it gives off [:@]

I emailed him & cheekly asked for a discount ;)

His name is Darius, [email protected] , I sent him a weblink to the grill, my german knowledge is zero...his english is very good, if your not sure do a bablefish web translation http://babelfish.altavista.com/


He takes paypal too, which is a bonus for me, I think it was about £59 inc shipping from germany, via DHL.


Pedals were from VW SPEED

Fitted some mudflaps yesterday too [B)]
 
Just ordered one. Will stick the ''S'' badge Bob is kindly sending me on.

I couldn't see a paypal icon on the item though. It just says i need to wire the money across. Did you wire it through Paypal Jace?

I got a similar grill some time ago and fitted a small Seat badge from an older stlye Toledo. I prefer that to the badgeless version
 
Very nice DIY, don't really like the aftermarket grill.

I would prefer the OEM seat MY 08 black grill.
