Front Molding Grille Grill Chrome For 2012 2013 2014 2015 Volkswagen VW Passat 561853651COQE
Overview
This Tyrigion front molding grille trim is an aftermarket chrome replacement designed specifically for 2012–2015 Volkswagen Passat sedans (fits B7/B7.5 body-style front grilles). It replaces the top chrome molding that runs along the face of the grille to restore a factory-style appearance after damage, corrosion, or paint failure. Made from high-impact ABS with an electroplated chrome finish, the piece offers an affordable, OEM-style fit and finish for owners who want to refresh their Passat’s front end without buying an expensive factory part. Ideal for DIY installers and independent body shops, it’s a direct-replacement part (part number 561853651COQE) but buyers should confirm trim and sensor options before ordering.
