    What if we contact SS direct and ask them about a special order ie not rely on the website calculation for shipping?
    Or maybe one order per state?

    Basically, if you order on your own, it's $140 posted. If I were to do it, I'd want no less than $160 per person, and would possibly end up out of pocket with local postage anyway.
    Or if everyone met up somewhere and had a "New grille install day!"

    i'm pretty sure the honeycomb grill from superskoda, or any octavia grill for that matter, will not fit in a tiguan!!!

    How does the bonnet latch work with the honeycomb grill? It pokes out through the vertical fins of the existing grill so not sure how it will work with the honeycomb one. Sent an email to superskoda but no reply.

    Hi Guys,

    With the honeycombo grill, does this effect the bonnet release?

    Cheers
