New grille(not in chrome)

[jimbomort]

anyone looked into replacing current grille with some chrome mesh or cutting out and replacing parts of with? Might look pretty neat.

I would like the look of the black mesh, but have not seen it around anywhere.

The Foresters had a limited model release a year or two back with a plastic black mesh grille. It looked quite good.... (shame about the rest of the car!!)

Thought i might experiment with this 1st, may have it painted on after i give it a couple of weeks visual trial...

looks great IMO, just enough, not too much.

This seems like a good buy also on Alibaba (i.e. Chinese eBay):

Stainless Steel Scuff Plate
Volkswagen TIGUAN Stainless Steel Scuff Plate/door sill ( wholesale/retail, post by EMS ,DHL,UPS,CPAM)

I have the genuine VW ones fitted.

But based on the photo, these look like the real mckoy and very good value fellas!

Beware of those scuff plates because they are made for Chinese made Tiguan with longer wheel base, so the plates for the rear are too long to be fitted. learnt from personal experience
