Open up the side honeycomb parts around dim lights
« on: 09 February 2008, 18:03 »
I hope I wrote it correctly in English...

Anyway, did anyone consider replacing those plastic parts in the front skirt with ones that have holes in them (that's how this car is supplied to warmer climates, I believe)?

I've seen pics where they have rectangular holes in them plastic parts (still honeycomb pattern). Looks nice. Better ventilation, too.

Unfortunately, couldn't find replacements on German Ebay.  :undecided: I've seen them there before, but not anymore.

if i c those on the gti i think it ruins the look, two square holes in the sides.. why not go the lot or go with the cone shape. not a square cut!

It's plenty warm enough over here, looks like a standard part worldwide...

You's have to contact the TT shop. Judging from some of the other parts I've already ordered I would have thought under £300.
