Lol

, yes - i'd love to do the T5 grille mod .
I did have a go myself , i bought a complete set of grilles from ebay (£75 all in) , ordered an aftermarket 'badgeless' VW Tansproter T5 grille - which turned out to be the wrong one

. so i ended sending that one back . Whilst i was waiting to try and find out which is the correct T5 grille to use , i made a start on the 'donor' grille
Spent a good 3-4 hours carefully removing the honeycomb .....
....... and then removing the 'left over' molding ribs from the grille using a dremel ...
.....and then another day sanding it down - and got as far as this -
And that's as far as i've got
I did re-order the correct T5 grille ( you need the one with the 3 bars from FK Automotive ) , as someone tipped me off they were currently on sale for just over £20 !

but after 3 weeks , they emailed me to say they didn't have one in stock , and that they didn't know when they were getting any more
It then took them a further 2 weeks to refund my money
Whilst i was waiting , i had a go at plastic welding using the offcuts from the honeycomb . I thought it would be a good idea to practice

. Unfortunately , I soon learned that my many talents clearly don't include plastic welding......
So yeah , my T5 grille appears to be a stillborn project i'm afraid

Anyone wanna sell me one ?
