   Hi,
   
   How do I go about put a Gril where the Citroen Badge it? I have seen a couple of people showing the Before and After on there own cars but I cannot find a guide on how to it?
   
   
   
   Just wanna make a few subtle changes as far as the budget allows

   Do a search for it mate.
   Type in "meshing grill" or something similar. Remember its a mk1 though

   if you cant be bothered to do it yourself, theres nearly always ones for sale on here and ebay etc. for example, by people who are putting their cars back to standard spec.

   How do I make the oval grill flush on the sides without the middle bar going through the Citroen Logo though?

    the plastic bit across the middle?
    Cut it out with a dremel or something?
    
    That white VT looks gorgeous!

    You have to buy an newer mk1 grill, you had the same one as me, that middle bar will not come out without cutting.

    thanks, thats my old one, i have a mk2 now.
    
    if you get the smiley grill its a piece of cake, the black plastic slats unclip from the grill leaving the hole to mesh.
