The Rig

needed to fit the later 99/00 front grill to my pre-facelift front end.

found an aftermarket grill intended for the job,but the mounting of it was non exisitant,they make these grills and just asume you wack a screw here/there and all is well,well thats all good if you want it cockeyed/crooked etc and loose as a pros kecks

so,after alot of fettling managed to get it proper secured by adapting lugs on and using some more lugs/pins to secure it like the original and useing some spacers between the grill and frame and a cable tie on each corner

bloody nightmare but looks good now,just wish these aftermarket parts fitted like they should

grrr

i would have left the mesh black, buy hey each to there own.

Looks like a good job, considering you used a spray can ^

cheers,i thought about the black mesh,but masking it all up again to do it black (as it was green) i had had enough by then !

the badge is easy to do,remove it and paint the back of it,simples. !

cheers

Nice set of what look like Fiat Steel wheel alignment bolts there

Good bit of adaption & like you say, Most of the Aftermarket stuff is shocking for ease of fitment :0

But looking Mighty fine now though
