You take out the standard one.......easy......

your left with a crescent in the bonnet.......how do you get rid of it??

 

[imran]

Pay a bodyshop poo poo loads of money to get rid off it!

 

[MikeTDI]

the badgeless grill kit should come with bits to fill those bits.

which one did you buy?

 

[Essex Escy]

which did you get to get the bits?

and what do you mean by "bits"?

 

[hz2921]

Imran , I know what you mean!!!!!!!!!!!, I bought a *K brand grill and the bottom slat was bent inwards, ie not following the curvature of the top slat, i am going to sell mine as ive just bought the bonrath one, believe me its proper, the plastic is also thicker, and you get the bits for the bonnet and the bumper,, but i got the infill pieces anyway with the other brand grill, youll notice that the bonrat infill pieces are much better produced as well, but a bodyshop will have to fit these and spray the bonnet and bumper, i was quoted ?400 to fit the grill and the bonnet and bumper pieces and sprayed[], anyway learnt that you get what you pay for![]

 

[imran]

Yep think mine was a FK one!!

 

[thechief]

Mine is the bonrath i think, the bonnet has been welded and filled perfectly.

[Essex Escy]

how much we being charged for a fitting of this then??

 

[MikeTDI]

hmmm, looking on awesomes site they no longer list the bonrath one, but they do a mattig one for ?75 plus vat. mattig is pretty good stuff also, but im not sure if it comes with the bits. As for fitting its a piece of wee wee. DIY job for sure.

 

[Essex Escy]

but what about the bonnet crescent, surely that needs fitting properly......?

ive used the one that came with the bonrath. Its a steel peice that matches the bonnet, and its fine.
