Awesome

maybe look at spraying the OEM phase 1 grill black?

Looks soo much better and better at lighting the road ahead too.
Looks like you fitted some matching indicators too?

Looks totally modernised, Shaun.

A really worthwhile modification.

yeah am gonna look at getting a later grill or a badgeless one rather than paint this one as i attempted to get it off the plastic has become very brittle.

You could maybe look at this grill?

I'll be nabbing one when I pick up my S40 in a little under two weeks.

Ah bugger, anything here then?

Edit: forget it, just realised youv'e got a '96 model and they've got nothing for that. Sorry.

Edit numero dos: There's this one and another on flea-bay but it's getting a bit more pricey.

Don't forget that the phase 2 headlights have chrome surrounds to them so having a chrome surround on the grill and black in the centre will keep it matching.

It's Ok to fit a 2000-2004 grille to a 1996 car, as the aperture is identical.

It is just the grille style that changed.

yeah a lot of the grills swap between.

which is good news really. makes things just that tiny bit cheaper.
