Golf GTI Edition 35 Mk6 : fitting Front fog light grille scoops

 From AliExpress theyve been sitting in a box for 3 years!

I bought them for £89 they are now £14.60 !


Ive always held off fitting them for fear of breaking something.
But this week I needed the box they were in and my front bumper is now having lacquer delamination so thought why not!
Lets try and fit them without removing the bumper.....
(the internet says you can)

I broke the original grilles getting them off, but fitted the new ones easily.
Good quality to be fair.
They are gloss black and ABS (not plastic like the originals) so pretty brittle.
Ideally you want something in the middle grille to be gloss as well,

what it looks like behind the grilles.
Note the original 3 tabs in the middle.
these are only present on the original grilles, not on the replacements
