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

Halfords jobbie for sure...looks nice and tidy

Sticky Stuff 02 July 2006 06:36 AM

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

nik52wrx 02 July 2006 08:25 AM

I prefer the second look :)

jonathan100 02 July 2006 10:03 AM

Mangel 02 July 2006 05:33 PM

I've got anthracite surround and anthracite lower grill which looks OK!!

Mangel 02 July 2006 05:36 PM

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!!

Elmer Fudpucker 02 July 2006 06:43 PM

5-2 in favour of the Halfordized jobbie so far:)

Oddie 02 July 2006 09:33 PM

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)
:D

ethanrob 03 July 2006 11:26 AM

i think the second grille looks shocking matey,you should put that in a box and sell it me immediately :D

Daft Lad 03 July 2006 11:32 AM

Not keen on the Orciari grille at all TBH, looks mean-as-owt with the meshed OEM grille though :cool:

SirFozzalot 03 July 2006 12:24 PM

Prefer the first one personally. :thumb:

SwissTony 03 July 2006 01:04 PM

I prefer the first wheeliebin, second one has a blueish lid to it, looks slightly odd ??



ohh, the grills :wonder:
well both gay, but if you must, I prefer the first one :D

Hugo Atlantis 03 July 2006 02:48 PM

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

Best regards

scoobymoz 03 July 2006 04:29 PM
