Default lower grille for blobeye with front mount intercooler

Hi,

Can anyone tell me where i can get a decent lower grille for my blobeye, i bought an upper and lower matching zunsport grille but was unable to fit the lower one due to my front mount intercooler being in the way, I have seen prodrive ones in magazines which look great but cant seem to source them do prodrive still supply them

Cheers

I would be very interested as well as I have a APS FMIC and the black bar has been removed from my bumper as well, I did think about getting a WR1 lower grille but it can't be fitted to my bumper.

It seems to be as far forwards as possible.

But he hasn`t got the `black bar` so needs the mesh to be higher I think he means.

I'm running a Perrin FMIC with a Prodrive lower grill kit. They crop up on Ebay occasionally. Prodrive stopped making them a while back

Thanks

I removed the bumper, masked up the line I wanted to cut out,(tape to the painted edge you want to keep) measured it to make sure it looked symetrical, then slowly cut it out with an "all-rounder".The corners are the worst bits. Then file the edges smooth and measure out the grill from Halfords to about 1cm bigger around the edge. I then hot-melt glued mine into place but you could use any strong glue that will cope with metal to plastic. Clean and prepare the inner bumper first..... from the outside it looks neat and tidy, thats all that mattered to me. Its not that hard to do, just take your time
