   Looks smart as it is, other option is to put the chevrons onto the mesh maybe.

   Id say leave it as it is pal. Couple of people have done custom grills on the mk1, like just one slat going across no chevrons etc, looks pretty smart, if you wanted something different.

    Cheers mate, gonna give you some rep if it lets me. I'm just gonna leave it as it is i think. Everyone seems to like it how it is. But quite a few people on here are goin back to standard grilles, i much prefer mesh though.

    No worries man! Yeah does look perfect as it is. I did think about going back to standard but ive decided to just keep the mesh and tidy it up abit, plus i lost the chevrons.
