US Spec Grille
« on: 02 May 2008, 21:10 »
Now fitted! currently running with the plate in the front screen, but I'm going to fabricate some brackets to relocate the number plate to the lower part of the grille, which should keep the five o happy!!

Oh and I'm going to paint the VW roundel gloss black to match.

Looks good, will the new number plate location not affect cooling?

I doubt the cooling will be affected much, theres still plenty of room for air to circulate!!

its not circulating, its the air blowing onto the radiator, thats cooling, not just having air around it..

Some states don't need them.
