Guys finally got my Honeycombe Grill..... only thing im not sure about is the badge holder seems to make the badge stick out/up too far?!

but without the holder the badge on its own doesn't quite look right, i know a few others have this grill so any suggestions welcome?

(also going to have the outside painted red to match the car)

without the badge holder

Forgot to ask, did you have to remove the front bumper to get the old grill off and get this one on?

No, just take off your engine covers, then take off the panel below them with 5 or 6 torx screws holding it in then you can get your hand in behind to release the lugs that hold the grill in place.

Nice one, that looks easy enough

The problem with the badge holder is it makes the badge point up at to much of an angle so what I did was to cut it on an angle from top to bottom leaving it about 5 mm at the bottom and full thickness at the top :idea:

 

[MRBTT666]

yeah that's actually quite a good idea..... didn't think about cutting the holder down

got any pics of yours with the badge holder modified?

Honeycomb Grill (with cut down badge holder) and V6 Spoiler Painted and Fitted....look great and really changes the appearance of the car 8)

Looking good mate, like the way you have CC the grill. The spoiler add on fits nicely by the looks of it.

 

[MRBTT666]

Spoiler was a pain to get it to fit right but worth the effort in the end...... wasn't sure about the grill at first but love it now its painted and fitted.

I've been thinking about getting a badge-less grille and quite like the look of the honeycomb one (my goodness -discovering eBay.de TT searches has opened a HUGE bag of worms !)
Is the honeycomb grille made of ABS or metal ?
If it is ABS - has anyone got a metal honeycomb grille fitted ?
Found a few things (like the metal grille) quite a bit cheaper on the .de site than the .co.uk ...

 

[OeTT]

Most of us have the abs German eBay grill. I bought some metal honeycomb grill from Poland but the individual cells were too small. The extra bonus is you get a free pack of haribo

Yeah the ones on eBay Ive been looking at do seem have quite small cells, is it just the appearance of the larger cells that you prefer ? Or is there any other reason for not wanting small cells. I know I like the idea of having a metal grille ...
