Okay guys, I need your opinion. Which grill do you think looks best on my Mk3 Golf? All would be colour coded to the body colour before fitting. Photo No.1  Photo No.2  Photo No.3  |

I voted for 1. but I'm almost 50/50 between it and the standard grille 2.
I have to say 3. is not doing it for me at all

Number 1 definitely. Nice zcw angels in black with polished lip btw Thanks, I've only had the car a couple of weeks. The ZCW wheels were already on it. I'm starting to get the gist that the badgeless grill is the most popular option. I've not seen another grill like the one in the last pic. I got it from a scrap yard with some other bits. Can anybody shed any light as to what make it is? Got any pic's of other Mk3's with it fitted? I'm not a fan of it either, but I'm curious as to whether it was a genuine VW part or not? |

3rd without a badge Yeah, I thought of that option, but it'll take much more work to fit the grill brow to the de-badged grill + fill in the badge cut out in it. I think I might re-spray all the grills to the correct body colour and then run another poll and see what you all think then. I'm becoming more undecided as this poll evolves.  Keep the votes coming though. I gotta make a decision sometime. |

Long winded reasoning: Number one is probably the cleanest and technically the best looking, but has been done before and has Barry undertones. For that reason number 2 is better IMO but a bit plain, whereas number 3 is different and makes you do a double take. It's not beautiful, but I've not seen one like that before so it gets my vote - although I reckon a Vento front trumps the lot |

Yes, I would love to put a Vento front on it, but my missus is already questioning the amount of stuff I'm buying for it. Plus I need to get my Porsche sorted. |

3rd one with a skoda badge or no badge! I'm not sure if you are saying that with tongue in cheek or if you are being serious about the Skoda badge?  I can see the resemblance though.  |

You see a lot(well enough for it stick in my mind!) of skoda's with VW badges. Start a new trend! and I did think it was similiar |

I like ferret's Skoda conversion idea. Would need the chrome strip i think (ideally even blending side bits in the lower sections, but i think it'd work well without too). Badge engineering is right at home amongst VAG stuff, get it looking OEM and i think it'd be a winner. It was normal practice with some other models after all, couple of examples..     |
