Finally sorted an Aftermarket grill
 

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

Pics,took alot of fiddling to get it to align with the bonnet,think it looks pretty good,as good is its getting anyway !

oh yeah,colour match isnt too bad either,from a spray can !

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

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

i really like your badge btw. ;)

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 :thumb:
