Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
Compatible equipment / model
| Year | Make | Model | Body / Common Engines | Fitment Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009-2012 | Volkswagen | CC / Passat CC | 4-door coupe-style sedan; 2.0T or 3.6L VR6 where equipped | Match upper grille, chrome surround, emblem opening, and parking-sensor configuration |
Product Overview
A bird strike, cracked mesh, broken top tabs, or peeling chrome can spoil the smooth nose of the CC. The grille is also commonly needed after a bumper repair when the original mounting points crumble during removal.
The assembly restores the main upper opening between the headlights with chrome molding and a black insert. It does not include the bumper cover, lower grilles, emblem, park sensors, or every transferred bracket unless shown.
Confirm 2009-2012 fascia, CC or Passat CC naming, with or without distance-sensor opening, emblem mount, chrome pattern, and references in the 3C8-853-651 family.
Cross-reference 3C8-853-651-K / VW1200146. Volkswagen used different grille finishes and sensor provisions, so compare the original face and mounting tabs.
