Well, I've been living on borrowed time I guess, 80K a year and no shunts for ten years.

So here I am now with the front end of the Octy slightly damaged. Nothing major, just a grill and a front bumper bar needed. Once I get the bl00dy bonnet open, anyway.

So does anyone happen to have a vRS bumper bar hanging around? And a grille assembly would be handy if possible.

Also, any tips on how the bumper bar is mounted, and any close up detailed photos of the front end of the car with the bumper removed and the bonnet opened would be really useful.

Hope someone can help.
