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 £120, and the Mattig grille (you can get one from r&a design), which is £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: £147.90, as below: (R&A Design)
Kamei grille: £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 £30 more!

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

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.
