   Looks like youve done a good job spraying it mate - They are easy to fit, unless your standard grill screws were rusted and rounded off like mine were.
   If not takes about 10mins if that.

    Just checked the seven bolts on the original grill and they undo just fine thankfully.

    Thanks for posting the link, wanting to make an amendment to my standard grill and think this could be just what it needs!
    Although I'm new to the game so wish me luck

    can i ask if these sit flush mate. I got one before off a guy on here but the backing had been done with no more nails which caused a raised lip. So it didnt sit flush.

    And get the passenger side wing mirror replaced with the proper blue cover/cap on the top, thats a nice wee touch.

    its because in places like spain, the driver sits on the other side, the bonnet catch is on the other side
    
    it makes it universal
    
    
    
    why knock out 100 left hand catch, and 100 right hand catch, when you can knock out 200 universal fit for cheaper.
