Much more imposing buddy, needs laminx and that would look ace. Looks good now though

Cheers mate, i've bought the depo projectors headlights, i plan to try and take it apart and spray the inside and maybe also fit some halo bmw type side lights, but at this stage it's just a thought

projectors yes, but dont risk breaking them trying to paint em, a little laminx will do it a treat. mmmmm not sure about halos

How did it fit

How did it fit another member got one and other was way out

No modification was needed in anyway, the torx screws where all in the same place, was a direct replacement

Ok when I edit posts bits are missing lol

Which one is it?

Sent from my Galaxy S3, not a Crapple!

it's from Fk Automotive FKSG029, It's a complete grill, not just the mesh part, i got a mate to spray the outer black edges silver so it blended in, when it was just completely black it looked awfull

Looks like somebody kicked a hole in it, to me...

Nice. what was the shipping cost?

Nice. what was the shipping cost?

It was £22 Delivered when i got it 2 weeks ago but that was a special offer, current price and Delivery is £28 Atm

Theres a guy on ebay selling for £35.98 postage included but hes just a middle man

I bought one of these when i first bought my car. Took it out of the box, and put it straight back in and sent it back. I thought it looked cheap.

Like i say about everythin you do to your car, each to their own.

IMO .... Yuck .... Spoils the look of the octy ... But each to their own ...

I'am baffled so many dont like it, well mines was cracked and chipped so thats why i replaced it plus i wanted a meaner look which i think it achieves, imo the chrome ruins it for me if honest.

it matters not what everyone else thinks, you actually want that, controversy is the source of greatness

Cracks can be glued, chips can be filled, chrome can be covered. But that just looks like somebody kicked the grille out and shoved in a load of wire that they ripped out of an old rabbit hutch and glued it in place. Which is fine, but having to pay good money for it baffles me slightly.

Sorry to be harsh, but...

I think it is all just plastic mate. Not rabbits escaped in the makin of that grill

it actually has a maserati quality about it actually, or jag xf kinda slant

Personally i think its ghastly but each to their own

Ah well it's a shame, but it's staying on :D

This is very true buddy, but when it come down to being cruel to be kind and in the best interests of the OP to see the light, needs must.....

Sorry but the grill is just way to big with that open face. It just looks wrong , I have done all sorts to mine over the years including a similar thing and a Milotec front grill which all ended being removed in less than a week.

Each to thier own buddy but not for me....

I made mine own from std 3 piece grill in the end as did not like any i saw.

Good bowders but slam panel needs to be black, maybe a black wrap on it so its temporary?
