Like the oem grille without the centre spar and badge, but you can't see the mesh in the pic.

Definately the first one. Compliments the headlight mod very nicely.

By the way, you need to reduce the size of that front plate, I know it becomes a little illigitimate but it make a big difference visually!!

Remove the mesh

Carefully cut thro the centre spar with a hacksaw blade

File,then wet'n dry till flush

Fill the hole with Isopon

Rub it down (and fill again if necessary)

Plastic undercoat and then paint( I used Vauxhall midnight black,virtually the same colour as it was before)

I prefer the one without tha badge... It looks a lot more agressive without it

Best regards
