Title: Facelift Radiator Grill
Post by Mummra on Mar 6^th, 2006, 7:17pm

Hi does anybody know if the Radiator Grill from the facelift model will fit earlier model, or are they completely different?

Hi Mummra

I have a spare non-facelift grill in my tool shed, slight scratches to black plastic but otherwise in excellent condition. Bought after my facelift was damaged in hit n run when i couldn't find a facelift one. Never fitted it because i eventually found a facelift grill.

Just want what i paid for it £20 + any P&P, unless you live near Gatwick or West Sussx area the no P&P.

HTH

Fitzy ;) ;D ;)

Hi thanks for the replies, apologies for the delay in responding, I have been working solidly on my car to get it back on the road. Thank you for the offers for a new grill, I currently have a bid on one on ebay, but if that falls through I will be in contact.

I have now found another difference between models, in the bumper mounting bracket. The one on my car also has a mounting point for the headlights, but the replacement one I have doesn't.

Well these brackets are for sale on ebay, and the ones on my car are more of a U shape and the headlight screws to the back of the bracket.

hi there

the photo shows the upper bumper bracket. the big hole is for the screw next to the grill.

there are other ones more to the centre of the bumper lower down, but i'm not sure of the shape of them.

never seen any different ones that the headlight bolts to. can you post a photo of these ones?

Here is a picture of the one from my car, apologies for the quality, taken with my phone.

This one is a little bent, hence the the need to replace it. But as you can see the fixing for the headlight is still attatched
