Default Fitting Zunsport Grilles on Hawkeye WRX

Hi all, just asking for a bit of advice. I have a hawkeye WRX which needs something doing about the lower bumper grille as its really bugging me. The previous owner has done some kind of bodge job with the mesh using cable ties and it looks a bit of a mess.

I have thought about getting a Zunsport grille set for the car, but what puts me off is that the 'easy fitting' involves drilling. Has anyone on here fitted one to their car and is it relatively easy or is it fiddly?

Just want to know before I buy one!

Also if it is going to be a pain, does anyone know anywhere near Lincoln that would do it for me?

Thanks

Its really easy.
remove number plate
mask off as per instructions and mark out straight lines
bend grill and mark off across the 4 lines while holding grill
drill 4 small holes in lower bumper/aperture and trial fit
you will need to elongate them left and right
set grill into holes and check the gaps at each side are equal
fit wee supplied clips to the 4 positions at the top
clip grill into them
refit number plate
job done 1 hour max

ps measure twice drill once

I fitted a zunsport grill to my old 04. Easy enough to do (exactly as scooby1929 has said), but i really didnt like the idea of drilling holes into my bumper. Only done it because a previous owner squashed a silver zunsport grill in and damaged the paint
