I had exactly the same thing when I bought my grills from the dealer..   What I had to do was use the fixings that came with the speakers (sort of push on one way spring washer) and drill them out slightly so that they would fit over the four plastic studs.  Fitted a treat and they have never budged since.

I must have been very lucky as they only charged me ?11 for the pair.  Either they got it wrong and charged me single price for a pair of grills or else you were diddled.. If you are happy with your price then I would keep schtum

thank you reserves my son

I haven't cut any plastic. I had to cut the actual door card to get them in there cos like you say those magnets are huge!

I found mine in a car in the scrappy when i was on a relay hunt last visit. Bought a audi throttle body and those adaptors for ?15. the speakers blew the grills off straight away though so I don't use them anymore..

anyone know a part number for the grilles? I missed a set that was going on ebay. I have a set of Infinity Kappa 5 1/4 that would be nice in there. Gotta be better than the 3 1/2" VAG ones in the dash right now. Hopefully have the stealth shelf before long as well.

Does anyone know the rough (or exact!) mounting depth the speaker can be before you have to cut the panel (which I won't do).

Also I know that 13cm & 5" components fit in the original door mounts but do 5.25" actually fit ??

has anyone got 5.25" comps fitted?

8916vGti, The grills are about 6.50 each from http://www.gpcvwaudi.com/

well i've got the grills, dont know the part number just told the guy at the parts counter, and he knew exactly what i was going on about

i've just ordered a set of focals components, 5.25" i never though about the depth of the speaker to see if they would fit, should get them on friday be fitted by saturday so i can post up then and let you know, if no one replied before then

also I rang that place that does the speakers for 6.50 this is what he said "mate we have them in stock, but by the time i've added vat & p&p you'll only save yourself a quid compared to vag" so I got them same day from vag  

cheers
