Rieger RS2 bonnet grille - how to fit the rings?

[Jas11n]

The part number for the rings is 8A0 853 600

Not after the part number for the rings Rob, it's the black raised base that the rings attach to that's needed

Excellent! thanks guys should it be a straight fit to the Rieger grille? how is it secured?

[Nuvo]

That comes with the rings Jase, I've bought two sets before.

[CliveH]

ah, just seen Jase's reply...

so do the S2 rings fit the RS2 base (that fits to the grille)?

never imagined a grille could be so complicated...!

best place Vagparts? how much, roughly?

[Nuvo]

Clive the rings and the base are sold as a single item. The are mounted with a serrated washer type of fastener. I think they come supplied to if I recall correctly.

Brill, nothing like first hand experience

8A0 853 600 = rough price guide of £18.93 inc VAT.

They cost around 22 pounds inc VAT from the dealer the last time I bought one which agrees with the estimate Jas quotes.

My apologies, the base and rings don't come supplied with the fasteners. You need to order part number N 038 602 1. I think you need around 8 of them I can't be absoultey certain. I could check later for you if need be.

A poor attempt to take a picture at the same angle as Vasilis'...

[CliveH]

Actually, this picture clearly highlights the main difference between the Rieger replica and the RS2 OEM, being that the RS2 one has the mesh recessed.

I wonder how the raised are going to look? Well, we're gonna find out...
