Default Fitted my new grille today
Been wanting to get rid of the horrible standard front grille on my bug for a while now and then i spotted a genuine subaru sport grille on an american website but nearly choked on the $250 price tag. Much to my amazement, one came up on ebay last week and Mr Postie delivered this morning.......



the hideous old grille.......



During fitting.....................



Job done...................

Looking good Phil. A simple but effective mod. Glad you're getting the door sorted. How's the induction kit holding up?

Have you decided on a colour or is that a secret until the unveiling?

It certainly doesn't like this really hot weather mate. Been lumpy as hell in the afternoons but when it cools in the evening its fine.
