Hey guys,

Just a quick one, I'm buying a 2005 blobeye and I can't stand the chrome grill (radiator protector) they come with.

I'm sure its very easy to remove, can you give me any pictures or links to alternative grills.

Or am I better off buying a sheet of mesh and taking the bumper off to diy some mesh in front of the rad?

Thanks, Dave.

I wouldn't suggest buying a piece of mesh. Did that with my vts saxo and gsi vectra and no matter how hard i tried it looked awful!!!

If you have a look in the trader section you'll see lots of blobs they are currently breaking and possibly choose a grill from there you like.

I highly recommend mattybr@poleposition - Top bloke

Hey Mark,

I meshed my civic and it came out well, I just wondered what most people do.

I don't like the way the chrome grill is flush with the bodywork I think it ruins the look of the front end.

Could do with some closeups of the pre facelift cars to see what's on them.

This is what's on all the 2005 models I have been looking at.

Thats a add on Grill Kit, and yes it is horrible in chrome,

Brun

That grill was a dealer option wasn't it?
....and standard fit on the WR1???

So when I take that hideous thing off and hide it at the back of the garage, what should I replace it with?

Brun

I'm only guessing here - when the chrome things were fitted they replaced nothing, so i would guess you can simply remove

Brun

I'm guessing this it how it will look when removed?

Does it leave the radiator exposed to stone damage? That's my only worry.

Cheers Dave.

The cars didn't have a chrome grill as standard - nuff said
