   Standard on a mk2 imo, seems like the grill has been stolen when you use mesh... but thats my opinion

    to be honest mine is the standard grill but meshed (mk2) i like a bit of both, i like having my chevrons tho so its personal preference really, to be fair try meshing your standard grill and then have decide :-)

    Plates are next on the to-do list.
    
    The current ones are in an awful state and have been like that when I bought it.

    TBH i think the mesh looks good, but the car is too standard to pull it off. if tehe car was a little less standard it'd look the dogs danglies!

    i usually prefer meshed, but only on a car with some alloys.. and lowered... on yours the standard grill looks better, meshed looks out of place. wack some nice alloys n lower it, then put your meshed grill in
