<P>Huh? I didn't realize there was such a demand for these things... Is there anything different about them? Don't know what 72.30 Euros are in Dollars. I was just thinking today, that it would be nice to paint this grille/grill in all black, that that silverish/chromish trim around the edge makes it look not as good as it could. Like when they have silverish/chromish in the rubber of the windows, and then when they went to all black rubber, that it somehow looked more modern, cleaner.... <BR><BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Hello All,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;after everybody was screaming about the high prices on Vanagon grilles for square headlights (part number 255 853 652 K) a member of the German VW-Bus-Forum wrote an e-mail to VW headquarter. They responded: http://www.marcoalbrecht.de/forum/schreiben.jpg In general, VW writes that from April on the price of the grille will be reduced from it's current price of 200.- Euro to 72.30 Euro. That's very nice, isn't it? Hopefully you will find same reductions at your local parts counter.
