Grille

Postby iwanagofast » Mon Jun 01, 2009 11:02 am

I'm looking at a new grille for the S, I want to have the chrome surround in Electric blue and the slats in white. Only thing is the chrome surround on my one is contoured. So what would be the best one to fit, will anything fit, do the facelift ones have a smooth surround? I know the GP's do (with no chrome), What do you think my best options is?

The facelift(July '04 on) have smooth grille surrounds alright Rob.
Might look better with the cleaner look for bodycolouring too.

Cheers Ferg, thats my thinking- should look good with the new vents. There should be some knocking about, actually Owen- are you leaving the aero grille on permanently? ;)

Hi Rob

You can have my old grille if you like, it is the facelift one and is in very good nick. I am happy with the Aero one I fitted so won't be swapping back.
