How long did it take you to do it I.e was it easy?Did the upper grille in about 20 mins during my lunch break, because while it was off I cleaned the bits you cant get to normally. Very easy to install. As for the lower grille, it took about 45 mins all up. The grille comes with some self tappers, so instead of just using a screw driver and screwing straight into the metal I used a drill to make a smaller hole first then screwed into that. However the drill/bits I used were CRAP (broke a few bits... its strong metal!) and it made the job 10x as hard and as long as it should have. I also took 10 mins making sure it was all lined up perfectly and symmetrical....etc, and put some grease into the new holes in an attempt to cover any bare metal to prevent rusting. Also very easy to install, but a bit more fiddly that's for sure.However all up, without mucking around around it could easily be completed in under 30 minutes. Or even quicker if you've installed one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one day when it gets a nice big chrome cooler you might see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theory is the fact that the grille goes in between the body and that white stuff behind the bumper, that its pushed the bumper out and downwards a little bit - thus making it sag a bit more.I really gotta find out how to raise these bumpers back up again. Theres a thread on it already but if someones done it before and has "how to" photos or a guide that would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEMESHMAN260 Member 155 Member For: 20y 3m 13d Posted 19/07/07 09:14 AM Share Posted 19/07/07 09:14 AM Easy fixed, all you have to do is remove the licence plate and you will see 2 plastic holes, in thoughs 2 plastic holes you will see 2 smaller holes inside, lift the bumper up and aline all the holes and tap a 6mm thread and run bolts through it and that will hold the bumper up. It's not the grills that doing it, it 's just that the series 1 BF they did not put the bolts in to hold the bumper up. and now they are doing it because the bumpers are dropping.
