How do people,

Im going to buy myself a GTi grille for my beast and ive also decided to get the bumper mesh to match (mine is diamond shaped as opposed to the honeycomb shaped).
Including VAT and delivery from VAG parts the grille and bumper mesh is Â£60 all together.
Just wondering is any of you have any of the above up for grabs, or no anywhere cheaper (even though Â£60s not a bad price)
Cheers guys,

I ended up breaking the top row of clips on mine, thread some rope through the holes for leverage and pulled. Used a plastic tool also to prise it out... thats one thing that clings to the car like its know's the bin is its next home hehe

i did 1 better than that!
coat hanger, strectched out, made a small hook, put it through the grille and pulled it back, twisted it back together, then pulled the f*cker, the mesh snapped in half but it got half of it out.
then repeated for the other side but it left a little thin bit in the middle that pulled out easy enough.
then i poked the little plastic tags out of teh holes with a screwdriver. cant sell it on ebay now

pics will come at the weekend after is had a wash
