The front of the saloon was starting to look a bit tired with the rusty grill
The old grill had been there for 22 years and didn't want to come off. A delivery
of PlusGas later and a hacksaw to one of the fixings and there was a dirty hole
A quick shower of rain slowed things down, but the hole was cleaned and a touch of paint added where needed
Ready to fit this, thanks to Ian (soundrediscover)
So the old girl now looks nice and lovely once more
A couple of quid and a few twirls of a spanner and I'm well pleased with the outcome, looks good once again!

Re: New Grill Required
was looking at mine I think it needs doing again same issue as yours nick... but I have a mesh grill so will require more work on my part but will get a refresh on the paint of the mesh, I think looking at some of the cars I need to get mine polished so it doesn't look so tatty amongst the other cars... its surprising what such a small item makes to the overall appearance of the vehicle.. regards ricky

Re: New Grill Required
Agreed, it's the small details that make it nice. I hadn't really noticed it was deteriorating until I stood back one day and thought, wow that's not very pleasant. But it wasn't hard to do and was well worth it!
