did you have to trim that 5mm or so to be able to fit it in properly? or can i just put it straight in and it should be fine?

Took about 15 min to trim with a diamond blade in my angle grinder, bit of a sand and a can of spray paint......

If you don't fit it first you won't get a nice even margin with the body.

Same guy, took about 10 days from Canada.
I was surprised at the quality, so it made it easy to fit.

Thanks!

I just bought it. Hopefully everything works out well. Total cost including shipping is $132.

I'm not really sure where I'm gonna get it painted/installed though.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

The car is leased in a company name.....so I don't bother as it can't be traced to my address.....

just wondering is this grill easy to install myself?

does it come with anything else other than the grill i.e. screws and stuff?

as i have absolutely zero car modding experience im not sure how easy/hard it'd be to install the grill. better to bring it to a place that can install it instead ?

Now that I know it can fit on the 06/07 Euro, I think I may follow suit.

You really have to be a bit "handy".

I already had the gear such as a diamond blade for my angle grinder etc.
It's a bit fiddly to get a perfect fit, just takes a little patience..........
As long as you're confident fitting it, if you do stuff up the paint job you can always then take it to a paint shop. You can always practise on the primer.

You reuse your existing clips, and just have to measure and drill the top holes to exactly match your old one, so that it aligns with the bonnet.

Surprisingly this grill arrived yesterday and managed to get it painted and installed today.

Overall cost was $100 painting and $50 installation. I'm sure I could of gotten it done cheaper elsewhere but I couldn't be bothered wasting time trying to find one and having to drive out really far just to save a little bit of money.

Overall, the fit was very nice. Didn't need to trim any parts off, and the person that installed it had to drill a few holes and put in some screws to make it more secure. It is something I definitely would not have been able to do myself.

Now I need a mugen badge!
