...only (?)70 English pounds chaps

It comeswith holes pre drilled for self-tappers,5 at the top and 2 along the bottom.

I filled the holes in the bottom and attached it with douuble sided tape,while still screwing it in at the top where the screws don't show.

colour coded it myself using halfords finest mix'n'match and a bit of laquer

Looks good....Subaru do a genuine part, almost the same, but with the std mesh pattern for £130 !!
I have one waiting to go on mine tommorow
I agree re. the WR1 type grille looking too 'add-on'....these are more subtle.
