   Streamline do a fibreglass version of the widemouth insert aswel but they dont list it on their site. Youd have to ring them or speak to them on here.
   
   Agreed with the above would be cheaper to do it yourself.
   
   You can get the badgeless grills from ebay. Just type in saxo grill mate.

   if im doing the widemouth then i think ill use an insert it saves on filling and painting my bumper where i can just paint he insert and glue it in to place and no1 not even ebay do the grill i want there are loads for the mk 2's but not mk1's this is the grill i want:
   
   just a standard looking one with no mesh but i think im going to have to take a hacksaw to my priginal grille and some fiberglass and filler lol
