The ones in the pic are for a b6. The b5 have 2 different pieces. one covers the light one covers the tow hook.

This is correct,the one i have is all one peice,which obviously is not for a B5,i still have this in my trunk,i meant to put it back on the bay but never got around to it. I guess a trip around the B6 threads will yeild better results in getting rid of it.

Thanks you two for clarifying. I inspected, albeit briefly, the right side and could not discern if it was two pieces or a single unit, but i'll take your word for it and hunt down a two-piece B5 grill. Kinda funny that so many B6 units are available on the bay but none desiganted for the B5.
If any one has one let me know please.
Thanks
Swank

Yep that's it alright but I need the 2nd cover surrounding the fog light also. However, I do not intend on spending a hundred bucks for them. I got a pm from someone here who said they had several and would send to me if i paid shipping. I've been trying to get hold of him lately but he hasn't messged me back recently.
Good luck!

I also remember a thread a short time ago about a guy whose Dad owned a body shop. they got aftermarket grilles for his car for some ridiculously low price from one of his Dad's suppliers. he posted a link to their website. obviously not OEM but he claimed perfect fitment.

I guess my point is there are options out there

Yes, i agree! and Joey might think I'm a loser as I tried to take him up on his offer and send him money for shipping via my Paypal; but for some reason i was having problems with them at that time and it wouldn't let me for some reason???
I know it's good now cuz i made a recent transaction and sent funds via Paypal.
I've been trying to reach him again on a few occassions to see if he still has the grills but to no avail. I hope he's ok.
