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!
