Depends which bonnet you have. The top one will fit the lights perfectly and goes with the facelift bonnet. I *think* it fits with pre-facelift bonnet, but not properly

The top one to fit proper with your facelift crystals. The second is your pre-facelift grille. Face lift grille's and lights have a straighter inner edge and the pre-facelift ones are slightly curved

My car when I first bought it with standard facelift lights and pre-facelift grille


My car after I changed the head lights and side lights to black crystal but still have pre-facelift grille


And my car now with facelift 22b style grille and the black crystals. A much better fit



Oh and the bonnet is still the original alloy pre-facelift one

Yes the lights are the same in the last 2 pics, just the grille change and the ic scoop

As for splitter, I think its a P1 style splitter. It was on the car when I bought it

Same lights as mine, black crystals with black insert sidelights. I'm tempted to do the 22b grill too as I want a more open look so this gives me some ideas.

I like the grille I bought. The black bit in the middle is carbon fibre which is why I bought it as I thought it would look good along with the black crystals And I thought it matches the splitter a little too lol

You could do what I done with my old facelift grille I have on another scoob. I cut out the black plastic and replaced it with mesh. Although it was red mesh on a white wagon, it didn't look too bad lol And the one on the car now has black mesh in it.

From what I can remember, it was quite easy. Just make sure you think about what your cutting first though. I left the badge bit on mine as its was attached to the top of the grille and not the mesh.
Once cut I drilled little holes around the edge (I done that with the one I got now too) and then fix the mesh with small black tie backs. And maybe some glue/silicon on the underside at the bottom and round the edges
