I want a debadged front grill but the nearest i can find is the kamei if you want to keep the honeycomb look on a 6n2 any ideas?
Also whats the highest spec 6n2 they did (apart from colour concept)?
cheers

Hi mate,

First off, welcome to the Forum

For a honeycomb grille you've got two options as far as I know. The kamei grille you've already identified, roughly Â£120, and the Mattig grille (you can get one from r&a design), which is Â£175. They look the same, so its up to you which one you choose. Take a look at member's rides for some 6n2s with Kamei grilles

As for the highest spec 6n2, that'd be the GTi

and there was also a 1.4TDi which had some of the same toys - chrome ringed instruments, remote central locking, foglights etc.

HTH

thanks mate

ive just bought a 6n2 gti with climate zenons heated leather multi changer and other bits and pieces just got rid of my golf vr6 and fancied something a bit newer and not so savage on the petrol

still got the coilovers from the golf would they fit a 6n2 get the feeling that most likely they wont but would save buying a new set

already seen the kamei not as close a match as i would like have to check out the mattig one cheers

Actually I got my numbers mixed up a little, having just had another look now

Mattig grille: Â£147.90, as below: (R&A Design)

Kamei grille: Â£115.00 inc. VAT & carriage, as below: (car styling direct)

Howzat? To be honest I can't tell the difference between the two items, just that the Mattig one is Â£30 more!

I'd go for the Kamai over the Mattig.... Kamai make quality products.

.........and Mattig are rumoured to be bad quality.

I'll admit the Kamei is on my "to do" list, amongst other things

Hahah those prices are a joke. get a FK de-badged grille they should be no more than 40 odd quid. I only paid 23 quid for a mk 3 one from a german bloke at inters.
