Default D2 FL Fog Light Grill - Price Madness

Well as we all know the FL fog light grill is just one of those parts that always seems to fall off or is missing.

So the wise people zip tie them into place and I would always recommend that route.

Now being honest I did not do this and mine fell off leaving an unsightly gap in the bumper which just could not be allowed to remain.

Looking at eBay they are being sold for £104 new and £80 used!! For a small piece of plastic this is a painful amount to pay for any D2 owner.

So I bought a new one, but from TPS for £66 ex VAT, a chunk of money but a lot cheaper than anywhere else.

So if you need one I would recommend the TPS route, part number for the passenger side is 4D0853635B if you need it.

Sounds like a worthwhile use for a 3D Printer

having decided that I just am NOT going to pay the crazy price for these I have decided to have a go at making replacements to at least neaten up the bumper
I think the early 2 piece grill is rectangular [ and the same both sides ]
could anyone let me have the dimensions ? I have the fog light surround bits
a photo would be great of course
