i think thats an innocenti surround



I have a ino grill surround in my garage. I bought it at riv run.



I just looked some more, and the innocenti grille surrounds just look like standard Mk3 onward surrounds.

Yea thats the same one I have. I just need to get some of the little clips so I can fit my badge to it. Theirs a person selling them at shows for £20. You have to buy the badge seprate and I think that was an extra £6 I cant remember. If I have some time 2moz I may fit mine to my car to see what it looks like.

They wouldn't happen to be going to the Knebworth show at the end of this month? ;) I would very much like one of these grilles, hence the new sig :)

It's the original lower part of the front valance chopped off with the front teardrop mounts left in place. Then a standard rear valance chopped down and welded in its place with brackets welded to accept the mk1 golf splitter (non-gti).

I honestly couldn't say. I'v seen them at Malvern and Riv Run. If your still after one and I see them at a show I'll pick one up fro you if you like. Your not that far away from me really.

Just drill the spot welds out and take the chrome top lip off of your current bonnet :)

:D Brilliant, thank you for that info. How much do 1001 grilles fetch for, out of interest? If i do get one, i'll be colour matching it to the paintjob, leaving the surround stainless steel colour :thumbsup:
