    Well guys got my new grill today which im well happy about but its raining like mad so couldnt paint the bar that goes behind the grill black. But I simply couldnt wait to slap it on. and it was as easy as taking 6 torx screws out throwing the old grill in the bin, Sorry I mean keep the old grill in a safe place lol. and screwing the new grill into place. here are two photos. I will paing the metal bar when its dry but not going to bother till then.

    It was really easy to do took me a matter of 2 min to take off old grill and put this one on. you know has haynes manual has spanners to show the hardness of doing a job, where 1 spanner is dead easy and 5 spanners is really hard and should only be attempted if your clever like stephen hawkin. well the grill job is no spanners. the only spanner would apply is if you cant do the job lol its that easy. and i didnt really throw the old grill in the bin ive polished it and made a stand for it and its now on display in my book shelf in my lounge. am i joking hmmmmm.
