As some of you may know I've ordered a custom badgeless grill from Germany which disappointed me when I received it.
Poor quality... for almost $400 dollars and almost two months of waiting.
Red stripes were not fully dry when they got packed for shipping so the wrapper got in-printed into the red stripes.
The honeycomb is chipped in few places.
The clips are too fat and wont fit into the back piece of the stock grill holder or w/e u wanna call it, and some already broke off when i was test fitting it. The fitment is bad and uneven.
Will i recommend this to anyone? NO unless you can re do the whole thing which will take some custom fitting and repainting.
Besides all of that, theres another problem.. how to make the honeycomb grill fit into the Gti back grill so it looks decent and is correct.
So heres where it ALL starts.
This is how the grill looks like at the moment, so one of the goals is to cut out the old badge piece since its visible.
Components:
1. The actual grill.
2. Golf bageless grill.
3. Stock Gti back piece of the grill (grill holder or w/e its called)
So the idea is to cut out all of the plastic in the picture below.
And then the bottom part of the golf grill needs to be cut out and plastiweld to the stock Gti back grill, followed by sanding, bondo and priming then painting.
By doing all of this I'm trying to achieve a honeycomb badgeless grill that will be perfectly fitted in to the stock Gti back grill. Which includes the bottom part of the Golf badgeless grill and all painted gloss black.
So now you are all know where I will be hiding for the next 2 week or so.
ohh and of course red stripes will be fixed up as well and painted, just not sure which color yet
