#3: Re: Trying to fit SP grill (pic) Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Tue May 01, 2012 4:17 pm ---- Search. There is a how-to.
Also: post a photo of the grill. Are you sure you have the correct one?

#5: Re: Trying to fit SP grill (pic) Author: sulli, Location: SheffieldPosted: Tue May 01, 2012 4:27 pm ---- Hi sorry about not searching! My bad, the grill is like the one in the pic below it is taller than the standard but my friend has the same bumper and grill but the excess is tooked down the back (you can't tell) but he bought the car like it.
Thankyou!!

Your mates may be tucked down, but it will look odd and sit at the wrong angle.

#9: Re: Trying to fit SP grill (pic) Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Tue May 01, 2012 4:32 pm ---- You need this one: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GEN...2697wt_689
Or simply upgrade your current bumper to a sports one.

Genuine items, in my experience, require removal of the bumper.
Last one I had was from FK Auto and went on in minutes.. but rusted to fook shortly after, so scored a stainless one. Teach me for being a cheapskate!!

It should fit on with minimal hassle, the only downside is the arches, which are the wrong size for the sports bumper. What I did was cable tie them in place, it seems to be the easiest thing to to with it, you can't see it and doesn't affect it (Providing your arches don't come loose and rub on the wheels).
#12: Re: Trying to fit SP grill (pic) Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Wed May 02, 2012 1:42 am ---- For that grill you need a sports bumper
Will also need the sports wings and arch liners, fortunately I bought a sport.
That one you bought will easily sell for a good price as it looks like its in good condition! Or you could get the parts for sport

Do you have a picture of how you fitted it with cable ties? Thanks

Ok cool, but there's no way possible for the bumper to fit without sports wings and lining?
Thanks
