Is this grill a striaght swap?
« on: 16 May 2009, 14:35 »
Im thinking of swapping my standard Grill on my mk2 Golf the one with the fog lights on for a grill with just two headlights on. Does anyone know if its just a case of taking one off and replacing it or do i have to unplug the foglights and take all the wireing out ewtc or do i just hide the wiring.
I want too go from this :

to this:

Is it a straight swap. ie. same clips in same places etc
Thanks
Chris

yes its a stright swop, just tape up and hide this wires for the spots then if u want to put a four light grill on again at some point then u still have a the wires. the only time you have to change the slam pannel is when u put a jetta grill on. if your looking at buying a cheap single light grill i wouldnt trust the clips, they tend to break easy, just put a couple of table ties on to be on the safe side :cool:

Don't bother with a de-badge grille - they don't fit and look sh!te although you may need to fit it to convince yourself it was a bad idea.  The one I had jumped off the car every time I released the bonnet!

Late single-light badged grille FTW.
