Hi,

I managed to hit a deer and cracked the gloss part of the grille  :sick: I then stupidly bought an aftermarket replacement from eBay which looked shocking so sent it back. In the end I put the wrap on to cover the crack!

I bought a sheet of 3M carbon wrap from eBay - size was about 1200mm X 400mm and it was around £25 - that amount was ideal, and left a bit to do the emblem also.

It was really easy to apply (using my girlfriends hairdryer), although I did have to pop the numberplate holder and red strip off - All pretty easy once you have the main grille off - two torx screws up top, and two from underneath through the honeycomb.

I did find a guide at the time for removing the parts but can't place my finger on it at the mo...

Good Luck  :cool:
