Honeycombe grill

[gazman]

Appologies as I think this has been asked a few times before but some are old threads

I have just bought an 03 Ibiza Sport TDI 130pd with the standard slatted grills upper and lower

I asked the salesman if I could replace them for the honeycombe type as I think thet look far better

He said only upper as the bumper was different for the lower and I would need to replace the whole bumper.

Is this correct please

Nope. If you have the pre facelift bumper - you can change both upper and lower grills. That sales man is on thick shite! First he sells you a 130 as a 100 - then he says you need a new bumper! He's not got a clue!

Thanks

I have one of these

So I can do this to the front by just ordering stock parts?

Yip.

I use them, a lot of us here do.

The facelift model (New FR) is different though - so he is partially correct.

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Yes bud. Pretty sure you can! Ad Lav did it to his before he changed to the new bumper. I was gonna do it to mine but you know....

Thanks bud

Any idea on total price

Also are all three honeycombe above bumper or just two?

 

[CHR15B]

It's five parts in total.

The two grills at each side of the 'S' badge.
A central honeycomb grill, two fog light covers.

Bout £35 all in I think.

im looking for these grills, but the stealers have quoted about £50, where can u get the full set for £35?

 

[CHR15B]

I got mines second hand from Ad Lav. Dealership prices go up and down a bit so my price might not be correct.

I have just been quoted by 2 dealers around £65.00

 

[chrischewy]

i got 65 as well, think that must be the price at the minute!

 

[mhill]

why do the prices fluctuate so much then?

 

[CupraStoo]

supply and demand!

if they see its a popular thing to buy for improving your car etc, they will up the price

like the cupra intake pipe!

I think these make a big improvement to the looks. Are they easy to fit? Obviously involves removing the bumper so i'm guessing at least a couple of hours?

i didnt remove the bumper on mine, the top ones pull out and the bottoms unscrew on the sides, and i got angry woth the middle one and broke it out if you wanna do it properly then the bumper off method is best, but not essential

uppers were about £5 each, lowers about £25 all in about 4 months ago when i changed mine!

 

[Clone]

lol, might seriously look at getting these then. It looks so much better in the pic ibizadti130 posted.

does look good, could do with fogs now put some black mesh behind the holes and it looks quite good to be fair!
