Riz Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Anybody know where these are blanked out? surely if they were a proper mesh grill like the main center one it would help air flow? Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Hey Riz, yeah, mine were taken off the first time she was towed. The reason these are blanked out is because behind them is nothing but painted metal looking messy, so I guess they cut corners & put in the blank vents to cover it all up. One side has the bit you screw your towing hook into & the other, actually I can't remember!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gammaray27 Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 I heard that the Side air ducts are see through if you have DSG.. Something to do with cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riz Posted January 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Right the US R32`s are now being picked up by some customers, here is a edit of a customers car, as you can see the US R32 does indeed have "real" side air intakes...... anybody know why?

The nearside panel has the horn behind it, not very pretty and liable to get covered in cack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32North Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Hmmm, still think there must be a reason / solution to why we have filled in side air-intakes and the US don't. They look so much better when 'open'. Plus, Specialist VW in Kirkcaldy are preety cool bunch of guys. They guys in parts / bodyshop know their cars and having spoken to them I'm pretty sure they'll know what I'm on about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR32 Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 What about the lower side grills with the driving lights in them? ala RS4? Any-one know whether this could be an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 [ QUOTE ] driving lights in them [/ QUOTE ] FOG lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR32 Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 No, if i call them 'fog lights', then i can only use them in the fog, whereas 'driving lights' can be used as soon as it gets slightly dusk Or when i reach the MaccyD's car-park!! Just need to find a correct lighting loop for my neon under-car lights now................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaffaCake Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 One of the main reasons I love the R32 is as it doesn't have front fogs. I hate dicks who feel the need to use them when it's not foggy, they should all be prosecuted. Just my personal opinion, to which I am entitled.
