guys im going to remove the fog-lights to aid better air flow to the IC's. anybody fitted the sportec grills?

Nope, they're bloomin expensive! I bought mine from Daniel (spacecowboy) from this forum.

just checked on AMD website Rob, bloody £150 worth of expensive!

And from what I've heard they are not of great quality.

Best to buy a new centre grille, and then remove the bumper, and bond it from the inside. Cheaper and IMO looks proper OEM

have you done that Gurjeet?

Nope, but I know several people on here have.

As said if your a dab hand with DIY, then it's the best and cheapest solution IMO.

Around £30 for the grille, maybe some Sikaflex and some patience!

Now why the hell didn't I do that – eh!! Where's Virdee when you need him

The grills from Daniel are excellent quality – look the same as the OEM mesh but the black is slightly lighter in colour

LOL......if you don't ask you don't get!

right just checked the grill is £40 all in - you think its possible to do both sections out of the one grill? only problem i can envisage here for me is doing this with the bumper still attached - think it would be easier to get it off and then do this.

You should be able to do it with one grille.

And yes the bumper off is a definite. Otherwise you won't be able to fit/bond it properly.

If i was doing this mod, i'd take the standard grilles and chop out the centre mesh/foglight surround keeping the frame. Then bond a cut out section from a middle grill into the frames so their a factory fit without needing to remove the bumper.

Possible, but more fiddly IMO.

Doing that will give best results but you will need to buy 2 new centre bumper grilles as you cant quite get 2 out it

You might as well buy a set off Daniel for £90 – job done!
