Yeah, for you guys in Belgium it is. We have our Drivers side on the right, and thats where the GTI Intercooler is.

fyi, these are NOT good if you have SMIC!

+1 ... the ones in that picture are not vented. Make sure you get the ones with the vent in them on the driver side fog panel.

Here is the only regular link I'm aware of:

I tried to email them, but it bounced...

Yes, 199US$, which included postage cost with "Speed Post" from HK to Romania and delivery time was less than a week (was posted on May 27 and I've got the package yesterday).

They quoted me $199US. Did they quote similar? wonder if it's including shipping or pay for extra. I am in NZ.

What did it set you back in the end? I'm only after the center section...

Received the package from vagteam today.

Conclusions:
- they really are VW products, but cant help you with the part number because it has been erased (you can see in the second picture)
- but they are a bit different from those on the "Sporty Polo" - for example they have honeycomb pattern on the corners - the "Sporty" ones dont have that.
- and a small feedback on vagteam services: thay responded very slow to my emails, but eventualy they did a good job, the package arrived very fast from HK, had tracking number, and it was marked as a gift - so I havent payed any import tax. And they also told me that they have a lot of these in their stock.

I tried organising the group buy for these grills several weeks ago and emailed them and never got a single reply from them so after another email to them again and still no reply, it was obvious they don't care about business so I gave up on organising the group buy. Good luck to those who are lucky enough to get a good price from them let alone a decent reply. It says a lot about a business and it is these that i avoid dealing with.

They've finally answered me, and sent me the invoice...
I've payed and now we wait

I'll let you know how things work out.
