Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

the centre piece should be right. There's very little air access for your intercooler if running the stock one so you'd need to amend that. Current drivers side vent is open.Track Car: 06 Polo GTI Red Devil mkII

Looks about right to me. Personally I'd open it up anyway, the more airflow through the engine bat, the better.Comment

I opened up the solid section to improve airflow (dremmel between honeycomb sections) as these look to prevent air flow compared to stockComment

there are 2 versions available i have seen...
one with closed holes and one wit open holes on IC side.
but i have seen that the price is alot more to
i don't have the honeycomb grilles yet but i will in near future.
i would buy the cheapest and drill simple holes in the middle of every honeycomb figure.
and from the back you can drill it out with a dremel tool.
pretty sure when it's finished you will have a perfect vision from the front of the grill!
alot of work to i guess but, worth it!Comment
