Are they any good? What's the fit on them like?

Also, can you take the mesh off them?

cant you just take the existing black inner out of your grille, then fill it with a sheet of mesh?? thats what i did with my mk1. far cheaper than buying a ready-made one. i might be wrong seems as this is mk2 but thought it was worth a mention. will look brilliant whatever guys. good luck

I bought one as a quick fix as i'd lost the original grill. Ok for the money, they don't look too bad either. I didn't think it was an actual dimma grill because the ones on ebay are only half the cost. So i asked on here if anyone had a link for a proper dimma grill and someone posted a link to the ebay one.

Does anyone have a picture of an actual dimma grill?
