They are quite had to find I believe as well. My local breakers had a set on a car but the towbar had crushed the bumper to the car so quick removal was out of the question and the next day I returned full toolkit in hand and the whole car had gone

If you find any others on your travels Alex let me know. Interested in a set.

Booted it to work and back on the country roads. Replaced an LED number plate bulb after a dodgy connection and fitted my new grill

It does look 'sportier' with the new grille.

Mine is the same and will be going on as soon as I get the fixings for it - Good old Gatos again!

I think I will be painting the grille section with black plastidip, but will wait and see what the initial look is like on mine.

I think I agree to be honest. I'll keep it on for a day or two to see if I get used to it, failing that I'll put my egg crate back on and put this one up for sale
