+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.

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

anyone interested in a group buy? Can I coerce Dave into looking into this?

Hmm about $94 at todays exchange rate. Wonder what shipping would be like...?

If it were a group buy, could be relatively cheap, but heavily dependent on the number of units.

Postage for a one off could be the same as the cost of the unit to 3 times that as the distributor will want to make some money for the effort.

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.

a couple of pics:

Those dodgy buggers. not surprised though. they're trying to make it extremely hard for other people to obtain the parts by erasing out the part numbers so they keep the potential customers all to themselves. I've already got a contact who is willing to help out but is finding it difficult to specify what it is that I need due to the absence of a part number. Maybe if I use the pics posted it may help seeing that they are original VAG parts if that is indeed the case?

Hey guys, I was just doing a search about these VAGTEAM guys and from the sounds of things they seem quite dodgy. Pretty much how I've felt about them. Only dodgy traders would take off the part numbers to hide either the truth of the origin of the parts. That's my opinion anyway after reading comments from the following links and from personal correspondence with them not answering emails etc etc etc. Hope this helps you to make your decision of whether to deal with them or not. I thought I'd just do my fellow VAG enthusiasts and friends a public service. For those who have received the parts they ordered from these guys then you're very lucky cause I never even got a reply email from them despite several attempts.

Looks like whats already on my car... Guess you could save a few $$$ with the group discount, it was affordable in September with the free freight as per this thread
