Ben did a custom job on his grille, it's far from straight forward.
Lots of cutting and plastic work.
I even have a badge if you want to try it yourself?

I did a customer job on mine total cost £17 (badge + paint)

hi , how much do you want for it ??

jasonb · Oct 6th, 2011, 17:45

Let me go look for it first, check the condition and come back to you.
I picked it up and never got around to fitting.
I have a spare R-Design grille and I was going to install on there but I gave up on the idea.

But can have it for £23 including postage if that works for you?

Why not simply buy a new grill? If it is a facelift model, then the grill is the same - except the badge...

The grilles are £160+ :-)

As a whole - yes - but in pieces -> no!

All you'll need is the black plastic insert (sold separately) and the emblem (sold separately).
