grill swap
just put in new st st mesh grill, I think it looks better
After pulling off front bumper to fit it I found the orange front indicators on the wing are fakes, although wiring is there.

grill
Hi captjsc, Sorry Im at work and dont have the information of where I bought the grill with me, but I just searched on the net and chose the one that came with the rego plate mtg kit.
hardest part was getting front bumper off, there is a fir tree grommet in the centre top of bumper which is almost impossible to get out and I had to chisel it off and buy a new one, also the 6 bolts on top are hard to get at because the hood is in way, probably pay to undo the struts to get room but I didnt want to do that.
On my model I found the overiders protruded too far forward and couldnt mount grill so I simply cut them off flush with grill.
well worth the effort though
Ill look up tonight where I bought it and post it here tomorrow.
