Hi all, just put some later lights on my car, had them for a few months and never considered doing it until I saw marcus' thread about morrettes.

I think the gap between bonnet and light is ok, what do you think?.

Also with an sti 6 grill (to enhance the angle of the lights) I think it'll look good. Gonna order one soon and i'll post the reults.

Anyway good idea or not??

It looks crap with the early grill there, was going to get a later one but don't think the later grill is going to fit

The curve from the bonnet round the top of the light isn't really noticable and I was hoping that a late grill would bring things into line

Looks like i'll be putting the early lights back on!

Has anyone put a later grill on with the early bonnet?
