Here are some pics after installation, wasnt too bad. It actually looks ALOT better than I thought. Already have had multiple comments. If anyone is planning on getting this, let me know, there are some tricks I had to figure out.

 

that is one sick A## car nice job

 

dude, seriously...nice looking car. My second car will be an s-typeR I hope. What tires do you own on that lovely machine also?

 

Thanks man, I have toyo proxes on there now but am getting either the bridgestone potenza all season or Pirelli Zero M&S at the end of the summer.

 

Nice Job! That looks great!

 

That is a sweet ride. I think the the add-on makes it!!!!!

 

Thanks a bunch! I dont like how the 05 and up STR's do not have fog lights. It looks as though they should be in there, and that you have a "lower" trim that doesnt come with them. The original black plastic inserts just didnt do it for me.

 

Not to mention the black plastic ones break real easy. I broke mine the other day and I was thinking about one of these grill kits.

Which one did you buy off the site, the pictures MINA has up don't seem to jive with the 05 STR. Did you buy the kit that says 08 S-type?

Thanks,
T.C.

 

By the way, Car looks great man.

 

Ya I was confused at first so I called Mina. Just order the one made for the 05, it shows one piece on the website but you will get the 3 pieces. Let me know if ya decide to get it. Thanks for the compliment btw.

 

Hi there,

I bought he same kit but didn't end up using the side pieces (only the middle).

How did you attach the side pieces? Drill a hole?

Cheers
MM

 

Nice looking ride Bull 27, I put the mina lower grille on my 2001 V8, looks great... did you leave the black rubber edging on or take it off?

 

My mobile: you need to use needle nose pliers, and pinch the mesh together on the hole that the supplied screw is supposed to go through so the screw can't pop through. Take the panel off right next to where the fog light area is and squeeze your hand around with the supplied flat bracket. Simply screw them together. Make sure the bracket covers a good amount of the existing black plastic insert. Somewhat tough to explain, let me know if that makes sense. Yes I did keep the black rubber around the mesh. Car is black and is so snug against the body that you can't see the rubber molding.

 

Bull27, quick question..... where did you get your clear fender signal lenses from? I have only see them on minagallery for $80 or so, and I refuse to pay that. Any thoughts?

 

I got them ebay.uk, they have slot more jag stuff on there. I believe I paid 35-40US for them, then I sold my original orange ones on ebay for 15 bucks a piece. Worked out well!

 

you know how to play your cards right. Thanks for the input. I am going on ebay.uk now

 

Ill try to find the seller for ya, I'm on my blackberry now so its kinda tough to navigate and figure it out. Let me know if you find them.

 

first off, I forgot to compliment you. The grill makes a world of a difference. Second, I saw two types of side markers. Both are clear, however one appears clear frosted, while the other is crystal clear with a sort of chrome backing. Which one you recommend?

 

Not the chrome. Mine are smoked, either the smoked or crytal clear but make sure it will come with chromium bulbs that flash amber
