Really easy mate. The hardest part is disconnecting the bonnet release on the hinge then it just pulls of practically. The bonnet release can by pulled apart with a screwdriver being twisted.

Get a flat headed screwdriver in the hinge and twist and it should pop off both sides.

well just been sortign out some small imperfections which is a pain but goign to let the last coat of laquer dry properly over night and then will go aobut gettign it on tomorrow and might even give the car a clean, seen this done on a few mkiv's but not to many so should stand out :wink:
-
Looking forward to seeing this - I ordered a new grille over xmas, but it still hasn't turned up.
Not sure 100% what my plan is for it: my car's silver and I was thinking satin black grill + chrome badge or gloss black grille/badge.
I think a quick photoshop is on the cards, as I was also thinking of doing the B pillars and possibly mirrors.......

^^^^^ This was the inspiration for my evil plan :evil:
Not sure if it would translate across to a silver 4motion though
-
Fitted the grill tonight, was fairly easy managed to loose the tiny little round metal bit that the bonnet release is connected with but a couple of trusty cable ties have done the job (bloody fiddly) will get some better photos when its dry and not dark!

hadnt really though about it to be honest, will do know though lol :wink: the middle one does that come out pretty much the same as the side ones?
and yeah i think smopked lights would really set the front off as well along with the black wing mirrors
-
Looks very well done actually. Would look great with an Anni splitter thingy. :smiley:

i've seen it done on silver before and that looks mint, if i got hold of a spare grill, then i'd do mine too.
-
yeah ive seen it on silver, white and a yellow golf as well which looked really nice
-
Managed to find this, sort of like it, but without the silver around the badge. Fair play, does look nice aswell.
